They just set an incredible pace, and want to blow you out in the first five minutes. If youre not ready to run back in transition, youre not ready for them to shoot the ball early, and theyre hot, you can find yourself in a hole really, really fast. I think you have to go in there knowing that they have a great home-court advantage, and I think you have to go in there knowing that the game is going to be intense.

The same thing happened last week at Pittsburgh. I told them, 'If we're going to be good in this league, then you got her, you got her, you got her and you need to get your girl stopped.' We had a little bit more of that in the last 10 minutes, and as simple as it sounds, that was a difference-maker for us.
