We couldn't put the ball in the basket.

I just got more aggressive. I didn't have the ball in my hands that much in the first half because I was playing the 2-guard. When they took John out of the game in the second half, I handled the ball more and I was able to make things happen for myself and my teammates.

I honestly thought as long as I got there before the ball went up, everything would be cool. I've been doing it that way my whole career and it never was a problem, even when coach (Larry) Brown was here.

We understand that we're going to get the ball into Tim and play off him.

We moved the ball around today. Everybody did a great job playing off each other.

When you rebound the ball we're able to move the ball, and we want to get out and run, try to get guys some easy baskets. We don't want to come out and play a half-court game all the time.

I was surprised that they just let me wind the clock down and take a shot. I told my teammates that I was going to wind it down. ... I was hoping if I did miss, the ball would bounce and the time would run out.
