You get a guy who can bang a little bit, rebound a little bit, dive on the floor. You got a hustle guy who does a little bit of everything.

Down the stretch, when we needed those two guys to score the points, that's what they did. We got into the penalty and Allen continued to drive the ball, and Chris had wide-open jump shots because Allen continued to drive the ball, and that's what those guys have to do late in the fourth quarter.
