Recap| Final Stats

"It was an ugly-type game. You aren't going to get any style points with a game like that. But I felt we accomplished a lot. When you're in a defensive game like that, you really need to pound the boards and I thought that was a huge stat for us tonight. We went into the locker-room at the half and we only had one offensive board. We go out in the second half and get 14 (offensive rebounds) in the second half. We really did a good job of pounding the offensive glass."

"I told the team we're going to be better than 1-for-14 on three-pointers most nights. But we wanted to do establish a low-post presence tonight and I think we did that. We stuck to our game plan. Leon (Powe) gets 11 boards and Amit (Tamir) gets 9 boards. And that was against some very big boys out there. They were playing against 24-and 25-year old men out there."
