Ray was in the zone. I've been on the good side of that. Tonight I was on the bad side.

Ray was in his zone. I've been on the good side of that and tonight I was on the bad side. He had a special rhythm going and I know many shots he just shot over the top of us.

(The Wizards) made their shots and we didn't cover anyone tonight. I'm tired of excuses. I am not proud of the effort we gave tonight on both sides of the court. We needed to play a complete game and it just didn't happen tonight.

It was a tight (strike) zone tonight, so you could look for your pitch, ... Good for hitters, bad for pitchers.

Schwartz pitched a good game again tonight. It was nice to get on the other side of the ledger and get a win.

There were times tonight when this team could have folded its tent. We're not as good as we think we are. I told them at halftime that it was gut-check time, that they needed to show what this team was all about. They finally stepped up and made big plays when they needed to. I was very pleased with their enthusiasm and effort at the end.
