Their defense fueled their offense. They kept making stops.

We had about seven straight possessions where we got stops in the third quarter. We really stepped up our defense tonight. We talked at halftime about giving up easy baskets in the first half and...

That defense alone is effectual, sure and durable which depends upon yourself and your own valour.

If it was just Reggie, we could torque the defense to handle him, but that would be a sure way to lose.

Great defense and good pitching led to the low scoring between both teams.

We brought our defense together where we were able to defend and not break down and not bail them out. They missed some shots and we were fortunate for that and certainly I thought we...

We practiced covering the option all week. The defense did a great job of staying with their assignments.

Games we’ve won this year for the most part we’ve won with our defense. We’ve got a lot of players that can run in and out, and the beauty of this group is they’re versatile....

Our front line is solid, both on offense and defense. They’re as good as anybody, I think.

We’re finding a way to win at the end of games. We’ve been locking up on defense, making more plays at the end.

Our defense was good again tonight and we needed it. We sort of went cold in the second half. We went 12-for-42 in the second half. To win a game when you only make 12...

Our agility and speed will really help us on defense. And our offense is going to come from defense.

Obviously I’m real happy with the way we are hitting the ball. I think our defense could be a little tighter, but we are on a roll.

The first half, especially, we couldn’t run our offense. They were pressuring us and we couldn’t respond. Their defense killed us.

We are playing really strong defense right now. We have all season. But we have been focused in the playoffs. We’ve had to be because our offense hasn’t been so good.

She will be an asset for us on either flank of the defense because of her speed and quickness. That is an element we have lacked in past seasons. That speed gives her the ability...

It’s an opportunity to claim these guys don’t have a case, and it allows the defense to allege that it’s purely political.

We throw strikes and play defense, that’s pretty much our philosophy.

We came out and played solid defense. We made a few mental mistakes in the first quarter, but we really stepped it up in the second half.

We did a great job wearing the defense down. That was our goal. We felt like if we could run successfully on these guys we could beat them.

We pride ourselves on how well we play defense.

You’ve got to play good on-ball defense. We can’t let them get open shots or they’re going to make them. If they make tough shots we’ll have to live with that.

We changed our defense late in the third quarter. We went to a zone press instead of man-to-man. They didn’t turn (the ball) over, but it seemed to change their approach and it seemed to...

That we have had to spend several years relearning these lessons is a measure of the U.S. defense establishment’s failure to take counterinsurgency seriously after the American retreat from Vietnam.

A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

We came out too passive on defense, that’s how we dug a hole. But I was pleased with the guys’ efforts down the stretch.

Our defense has been our focal point all season. They made solid plays for most of the game.

Basically, it’s our defense. In the past two games, we weren’t ourselves out there.

We got into foul trouble and didn’t play our normal defense. We were a step slow and they took advantage of it.

We knew we had to play better defense because most of our shots weren’t falling. It was a different kind of game for us, but I think we showed why we deserve to win it...

Give credit to them, they played good defense and made their free throws. This is a special group of kids that never gave up and were in every game. The ball just didn’t fall our...

Jeff hasn’t scored yet, but for his side, just Jeff being on the field keeps their defense honest.

Because our military power dwarfs that of other countries – we spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined – this Administration believes that alliances and international institutions are more of a...

I was very pleased with the way the team played, especially they way they hustled and dove on defense. You can’t ask for anything more. Sometimes the breaks don’t go your way. We still have...

Ridicule first, then shame and condescension are the weapons and ammunition – in the mental manipulation and psychological terrorism of the oppressed. Self-esteem, truth and fellowship among peers are their able defenses – in a...

Our defense hasn’t been good enough to win. We haven’t been physical enough, and they’ve taken it to us.

You talk about Orlando’s defense — those balls he goes back on, those in-between balls he takes away. Now, you’re talking about a guy that’s never played outfield, so it’s a little more magnified.

We played (our zone defense) a lot better than we had earlier in the season, as far as seeing cutters coming through the lane and defensive rebounding.

Stang played very well, especially on defense. They worked harder than we did. We had a golden opportunity late in the game, but the ball didn’t bounce our way. I thought we were going to...

It was a solid win. I think we finally put together a solid all-around game. Our defense, pitching and hitting all came together, and we need to carry that momentum into our next week of...

With our offense not really here early in the season, we’re really emphasizing pitching and defense. I told Timmy to keep the ball low and make them hit grounders, especially on this infield. There are...

They did a tremendous job on defense all night. I’m just proud of them. Coming into this game I felt like Loris offense and Loris’ back were as good as the two teams we’ve already...

Hope springs eternal when you are a defense attorney in a case like this.

The key to the game was the way we closed out the first half. We tightened up on defense and attacked them on offense.

It was just a great comeback. Their defense was active, but we finally got it going. We started to get some stops and then Ben was just huge.

We are fortunate to get out of here with a victory. Both teams played some really awesome defense and we just couldn’t get our offense in gear in the second half. This is another game...

We’ve got three or four guys coming off the bench that play good defense and pressure their guards all the way up and down the court, and we hope they (the opponent) gets tired by...

Why spend your life working on defense when no defense can be made truly impenetrable? Take the offensive – learn the vulnerabilities of the world around you and be the change you wish to see...

It’s always something we do well. We always count on our defense more than our offense. It’s one of those things that if you get it going early, it’s going to be a good night.

Again, it is absurd to hold that a man ought to be ashamed of being unable to defend himself with his limbs, but not of being unable to defend himself with speech and reason, when...
