Every time you're in an NBA game, a team is going to make a run and they're going to make some shots at some point. Early on they missed a lot of shots, which allowed us to get the lead that we had.
More Quotes from Maurice Cheeks:
It's something that we've talked about this season in terms of (Iverson) being a team leader. The past three games he's been phenomenal from taking over the game to his overall leadership.Maurice Cheeks
We know how these games are. We've been on the other side. We had games we thought we won, and the other team came back. San Antonio had the game won.

Nah, it wasn't that bad, ... Twenty-seven percent, c'mon. When Kyle misses a foul shot, I knew we were in trouble.
Maurice Cheeks
When you have a bad season and things don't go the way you want, I think you have to look at it overall. All things are possible when you fail. As a team, we failed. We didn't accomplish what we looked to do. When those things happen you have to look and see if you make changes. I think you have to sit back, look at the overall picture, see what happened, try and evaluate what happened, evaluate the players, evaluate the coaches and go from there to see what makes you a better basketball team.
Maurice Cheeks
Why should he be a guy who comes here and says, 'Well, I'm not going to be one of the guys and I won't be able to play' ... What that would do to him is as far as mentality is take him off the floor, in terms of going out there and competing, day in and day out. I think that does him a disservice. Now, if it comes to the point where he can step out there and play, why wouldn't I put him out on the floor
Maurice Cheeks
They just controlling the game and our defense was not that good. Everyone that we had out on the floor was not playing defense. I tried to insert some guys that were going to give us a little energy, give us a little defense and they turned the game around. Those guys that I put in there helped us get back in the game. Everyone that came in the game had a part in the victory.
