THOUGHTS ON THE GAME

First of all, team effort. The coaches did their part. The players did their part, even the bench players did their part. If you noticed, some players that clocked in, didn't clock in minutes before. Lorenzana. It means it is a team play. We don't expect, besides Alex [Diakhite] and Rey [Suerte], we don't expect anyone to step up. You can't predict. Whatever the coach decides, whatever the coach has in place, they're going to play really hard. They struggled in the first quarter, then adjusting to the second and third. So I think, as a whole, the players did wonderfully, especially Alex, who was carrying the players. As a whole, it's a good win for us.
