We got stops, we forced them into some contested jump shots and we were able to rebound the ball. We just did what we do best, and that's try to get up and down the floor. That's how we play basketball.

It's starting to get better. I thought we had some lapses in the second half. We get a little comfortable when we get a nice lead.

I told David he makes me look good. I told Kirk (Snyder) to go to the corner, but that David should be able to step back and be open. He stepped up and knocked it down like he's done so many times this season.

It wasn't a good break. He's got to get a plate in there and everything.

They were playing harder. They were getting after loose balls, long rebounds. We had to match their energy. In the third quarter and fourth quarter, we did a much better job.

As good as [Duncan] is, he?s not overpowering like Shaq. Shaq is a different beast as far as having to deal with him on that level.
