We knew it was do or die, and I told everybody before the game that I don't want to go home. Tonight we came out ready to play. We got our transition on early and think that was the key today.

We really wanted this game. We knew we had to come here and win two.

It reminded me a lot of Game 1. They got out to an eight-, 10-point lead, and then we fought back. Game 1, we just couldn't get over the hump. ... (Tonight) everyone was just really determined.

I had a horrible game. Now our backs are against the wall. We've got to go there [Seattle] and win two.

No matter how far life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you can always bounce back.

For me, honestly, it's not about individual accomplishments, individual award. It's about what I've got to do and how I can contribute to the team.
