When he has an off night like that, he has to have confidence that we can pick him up. That's what we did.

Ben played 56 minutes last night (in Memphis), and he played 41 tonight. Yet, he was able to do what he did. When we needed to lock down in the final two minutes, he pretty much did it.

We have a lot of confidence in our defense and when you're scoring offensively, they both feed off of each other.

I wouldn't say it messed my rhythm up. It changes the way you prepare for the game. You can't wait and try to get into the flow. You have to come in and contribute right away.

We wanted to come out and get this first game. That was our main focus coming in to the game. Now we have to get back to practice and come out and get game two.

I'm getting a lot of wide-open shots, wide-open looks.
