They were better than us today.

Twenty-four (points) and six assists is a pretty good game. He did a great job for us. That's why we get to play tomorrow.

We started getting better looks. We got better shots (in the paint), so when that happens you get good shots from the perimeter.

We just didn't play well. We settled for jump shots. We didn't get to the free-throw line. We played hard, but we didn't play well. The effort was there.

We've been waiting for us to come along because we've been working hard on our offensive game. Finally today, the kids stepped up and were able to hit in any count.

Many of us thought even before Katrina we couldn't afford this benefit. We certainly today have to think we should put this benefit off.
