(The wins) give us a lot of momentum. We're on top right now, and nothing can bring us down.

(Hitting) is very contagious. It's kind of like monkey see, monkey do.

I had to try to slow down the momentum and go at them.

I go hard from the beginning and go hard until the end.

It's the same goal for us ? screen out for rebounds and use our energy in productive ways. That's the easy part of preparing this time of season. We know what we have to do to be in the game.

For us, that's a challenge every week. We have to apply ourselves, which we did last time. Our reaction time when the ball was in the air was extremely quick.
