It was one of our best all-around efforts this season from beginning to end. The guys were in tune with the game plan. We came out in the third quarter a little bit off, but we quickly re-grouped.

Even though we had it pretty close at the half, they pretty much outplayed us beginning to end.

We fouled a lot tonight, we had a night where we were just flat not into it right from the beginning of the game. And really a pretty pitiful effort.

We pretty much got dominated from beginning to end. Even when it was close, it wasn't close.

We pretty much got dominated from beginning to end. Defensively, we're not getting it done.

Kirk was outstanding tonight pretty much from beginning to end. Defensively he was as good as he always is and he played with a nice tempo. He didn't really force anything, ran the offense well, penetrated and made a lot of good decision.

We were very, very fortunate. Clearly, we were tired right from the beginning of the game. It wasn't a pretty game. We just played hard in the second half and really battled for it.

We did not play well enough to win. We had way too many breakdowns, mentally and physically. We had a lot of trouble tonight from beginning to end maintaining our focus, and we paid for it.

It's not only that we talk to them. The league does a good job, and the players association, of going through all that at the beginning of the year. The players have union meetings where that's discussed.
