I just tried to block everything out. I just focused on hitting the shots.

Not bad, but it doesn’t feel as good as first. It’s just sort of frustrating.

Well, I guess we ran out of gas.

We just couldn’t come back again.

It bothers the heck out of me. I just want to get back in there so bad. I just get mad at myself for getting those stupid fouls.

We knew we were better than most teams in the league. We knew we couldn’t get first, but we had to get second.

I had to keep myself in the game. I had to play a lot smarter.
