We didn't play as we normally do tonight. (The Panthers) played an all-around good game tonight. They are a really hard team to defend.

We've had some slow starts, but we were very ready to play tonight. Wade pitched it well, we played good defense, and we hit the ball. I was proud.

Honestly, it's bothersome. But we have a game (tonight) and a chance to prove to ourselves that we can play harder.

All you can ask is that the kids play hard and play a good defensive game. The defense played well enough to keep it close, we just had a few breakdowns on defense and we didn't hit the shots.

I don't normally bring him to bars but tonight this is more of a family environment.

We played good tonight. But sometimes in baseball, you play well enough to win but lose.
