It was just a matter of time before I got in my rhythm.
It's hard to rebound on a zone team, they were coming hard and we didn't do a good job of getting a body on our man.

Shooters keep shooting. I'm not going to make every shot, but I kept shooting and I knew it was going to fall.
I just got in a little bit of a rhythm and just kept shooting my shot. I just wanted to have another good game and put two good games together on the road, and I think I did that.

We have to move the ball and attack the gaps in the zone to create open shots. Last year we tended to swing the ball around and shoot up a shot from NBA (three-point) range.
