All those turnovers in the first half set the tone. We were lazy with the ball and you've got to take care of the ball to win down the stretch.

If I can drive in there and get two people on me, there's no need to shoot it. Somebody else is open. When I was a shooting guard, I had to be more offensive-minded. Now I'm getting back into the pass-first deal, and that's comfortable for me.

Game by game you'll see something that I get better at every game. At least, that's my goal.

I'm going to give you the ball, and you give it back to me in good shape when the game is over.

That's a huge point in the game right there. They got some momentum, knocked down a couple of shots. We trust everybody on this team to come in and be ready to play, and in those two minutes they got the best of us.

They did a good job changing up the defenses. They went from a 2-3 to a man to a 1-3-1. It staggered us, and we sometimes didn't know what offense to get into.

It's a new position for me, but as long as I'm getting better every game. I'm more focused on not scoring, but not turning the ball over. I'm trying to make smart plays.

That's a confidence play right there. I think a couple of games ago, he wouldn't even probably have tried to attack the ball. He probably would've stopped at the top and held it.

It's his confidence level. When he's shooting the ball like that, it's not really technique or none of that stuff. It all has to do with confidence and his confidence is through the roof right now.

It's going to be real important for us to be encouraging so we don't let this (slump) beat us the next game.
