We tightened up a bit. We needed to get our own energy up. It was a matter of passing the ball and not getting beat off the dribble as much as we had.

I thought it was a little of both. It was us taking shots that weren't the best shots. We didn't pass the ball and cut hard and space the floor.

We have a lot of respect for this team. We knew it was going to be a war. They play hard and unselfish. They make it tough for you. ... We got stops when we needed to and we became aggressive, taking the ball to the basket.

We rode (Miller) tonight. He was superb out there. We found him, got him the ball and he was magnificent.

Chicago played an outstanding game. They were sharp and beat us in every aspect. Maybe last night's win got them back on a roll. They shot the ball incredibly well, they beat us in every facet - off the dribble, defensively and shooting. It was just a struggle for us the entire night.
