The fouls really take a lot out of our defensive pressure. We can't play as tightly as we normally do. It changes the game.

The guard play just killed us in that game. We didn't have this dude right here playing. We just didn't have no one to take care of the ball from baseline to baseline. We could never get anything going offensively. This time is going to be different. This dude [Stephens] will be right there taking care of things.

This feels real rewarding. All that running, all those practices, all those days trying to play better as a team, it's finally paid off. And man, it feels good. We went out with a bang.

We have to keep shooting the ball well, keep our defensive intensity, and stay out of foul trouble.

I would have been crushed, just crushed.

This is the game we want. We want them bad for playoff seeding-wise.
