It was a tough game. I would like to congratulate our team. We played much better defense - giving up just 67 points. That comes with controlling the rhythm of the game. The guys played with heart and put in a full effort and we won the game. We need to step up like this and continue in the next game. We found a good balance between the individual game and team game. What was important today was guys making decisions together and we looked like a team. Everybody who came on the court gave heart and their maximum. Everybody fought for 50-50 balls. With this win, it helps us mentally to get back to our winning ways.
