For one day, for two hours, they did the things they had to do when they had to do them. We made enough shots and got enough stops to win the game, which I think they deserve, to have a chance to feel good about themselves.

These games have become epic -- not artistic, but epic. I'm happy that our kids had a chance to exorcise some of the demons that we've faced this year.

The stress of the season and the emotional tear of the season have left a lot of scars in that locker room. I'm going to be honest with you. Some of our guys will finally have a chance to grieve, and they probably need that.

It's relief in that some of our guys have not been able to grieve. Coleman lost it in the locker room. He needed to. I'm glad he had a chance to release something inside him.
