Occasionally, I may say something to see if I can get a response. Certainly, they responded, not that I want to take any credit for a comment like that. Each time they could have faded away, they found a way to come back and get after it again.Scott Skiles
Detroit has its own agenda, which is to rest its guys, and Washington has the motivation, which is understandable. So is the Orlando-Indiana game. That's part of it. That's why you play all 82 (games).

The thing we have to be concerned with is our turnovers, especially down there. If you told me before the series started that we'd have an 18-turnover game and two with 17 and we were going to be 2-2, I'd have said that was a stretch. We can't go down there and turn the ball over 17, 18 times and expect to win. We want to open up the floor, but we have to rely on our decisions.

They just dominated us all over the floor, and then probably the most disappointing thing -- I thought in the third quarter, we quit. That's something I have to address. ... We were in the game a little bit early on, but they had way more energy than us. They went by our guards at will.
