We were hollering '3,' and when I got over to the corner, he said he didn't hear it, and I probably should've called timeout and made sure he understood that. I think I took it a little too much for granted for this young man to know what to do, being down three with 18 seconds or so.

Jordan has been sick and wasn't feeling very well during the game tonight. I don't think he was able to give us what he usually does, but he played tough.

If we hit a few more free throws, if we hadn't made those silly mistakes at crucial points, the outcome might have been different.

We always have trouble finishing, and I think some of that is because ... when you get beyond seven- or eight- (deep) for us, our quality, talent ... drops off. You get tired.
