I had two shots I thought could've iced it ... They had us defensively on our heels.
Overtime was good ... After the first two minutes of just bad basketball on both sides, overtime was really good. We got some stops. We were just searching for buckets really.
I felt that in the first couple minutes, the guys had a bad taste in their mouths and we needed to come out and get this one ... This was a great win for us collectively.
They outworked us during that one stretch ... I thought we were a little tentative. We got some good looks, but we were rushing everything. Give them credit.
We did a pretty good job coming back in the second half and taking it to overtime ... We have lapses where we don't play as well and against teams like this they just take full advantage of it.
I'm fine. I think [Pierce] got the worst of it
It was pretty grueling. I'm not going to lie ... That was one of the tougher stretches I've faced in my career.
I was pleased we fought back and we played really hard again ... Generally when you fall behind against a team like Boston, you almost have to play perfectly to win.
The free-throw line saved us in overtime
Teams are talking to us. We're the target ... We just have to stand up and take it. We don't have to respond. Right now, I think we respond a little bit too much. Just take it.
