I thought the difference in the game was that we had two turnovers in the second half, after going for a record it felt like in the first half. We scored 29 points off of turnovers ourselves and that is why we won the game.

That's just the way the league is. I don't think young guys get calls. It can go either way, but usually the young guy gets the foul. The officials go with the guy they know. It's human nature. With us being young, it's something we have to watch. But it's also something we have to accept.

They really came in to show us, prove a point, whatever you want to say. They came in and played great, so just give them credit. ... But their performance didn't sway me at all with the trade. The trade was a tremendous trade for us and, hopefully, a good trade for them. One thing about Mark and all of them, I hope they do well. I just didn't want them to do well against us.
