For the most part we did a pretty good job of making them take the tougher shots. We were up there in their faces for most of those shots.

(Steyn) is certainly a force in this league.

Dale Hunter, in my opinion, has given us the best effort on the floor the last two games. He has given as a great effort out there, and has deserved the right to start. And I told him he will get that start in the next game. Who those other four guys will be? We will find out.

Dale Hunter, in the last two games, has put forth the best effort of anybody on the court.

Dan had good production (including eight rebounds), but we had to limit his time because of foul trouble. All three of our centers fouled out.

They're creating a lot of turnovers (about 20 per game) out of their defense.

They really don't have a true inside player. (Jason) Warren (at 6-foot-8) is more of a perimeter player. But he can really spread the defense with his ability to shoot the 3.

They started out much better than we did, but it's a very important game for both teams.

They've been a little inconsistent. But they can be very explosive on a given night. With the players they have, they're very capable of scoring in the high 80s or low 90s.

They shot 46 free throws and we shot 20. That's a big difference to overcome.
