“I’ll say this, I’m proud of the team,” “I’m proud of the guys for going out there and giving it… giving themselves a chance when you had about as poor an offensive night as you could possibly have. It’s not easy to continue to go out there and have a spirit defensively. But our guys fought like hell all game long to keep us in the game, and to give ourselves a chance where we get a great look on a possession where there’s under 20 seconds. So, you know, I’m proud of the guys for the way they went out there and fought and battled, and if we play like that with that type of energy, we’re gonna be fine.”
