With what's gone on here the last couple of weeks, we've got to enjoy this. You've got to feel good about yourself. These are the points we need.

Obviously, we're going to look at them. They're our cross-town rivals. They've embarrassed us a couple of times this year and we want to go as high as we can go. We've got to keep building. But when it comes to them, it will always be different.

A couple of weeks ago, nothing was set in stone. Then guys kind of got that Game 7 mentality, and we started playing smarter.

A couple of bounces finally went our way. That's what you need in these tournaments, the breaks. We got them, but so did the Russians.
