I am all for it. I think it does make my job a lot easier. I have been around long enough; 20 points for me is easy to come by. I have to be more efficient, making sure Swift gets the ball and forcing him to play.

He (Butler) turned it on and made some shots and I was just trying to stay with him. I tried to keep him away from the ball and he still made some tough shots.

We were making good plays for each other and then I think we spread apart. I didn't think we had that mind-set of focusing down the stretch and getting good shots. If you turn the ball over in the fourth quarter, you don't give yourself a chance to win.

Tim did what he did for us this summer in Puerto Rico, and what he's done for San Antonio all these years. He's just solid down the stretch. You get him the ball and he gets you a basket.

You've got players that can really put the ball in the basket and they went on a run on us. You think the game is pretty much over with, but in the NBA teams can go on runs. I don't know how it happened.

It seems like teams always get off to a slow start here. But we practiced pretty well for it and we were able to run and keep the ball moving.

It was such a contrast between halves. The first half they had us on our heels and it seemed like the ball was in their court. In the third quarter it turned and you could see the difference. We started getting loose balls and were able to run.

I tried to get my hands away from it so they didn't see or think the ball was in my hands. It's one of those calls, it seems like they never go in our favor. I was just hoping the whistle didn't blow.
