Q: Coach Lu was ejected, you were 11 points behind, you were whistled for a technical foul in the fourth quarter, and you were whistled for an unsportsmanlike foul, talk about your later performance.
A: Coming together to win the game, that's what we care about, and after the unsportsmanlike blow we focus on everything we need to win, whether it's attacking or defending.
Q: You scored 12 points in the fourth quarter and we know you're a master of threes in the corner, but what happened in the last few minutes?
A: We share the ball, we attack the box and we read the defense, they don't block me all the time, it's the shot I've been working on.
Q: Before the game, we were still talking about how your performance in key moments is getting better and better as the season progresses, why can you perform so well in key moments?
A: We have a lot of talent, we are very focused in the decisive moments, we have the same goal, and we showed that tonight. It took us a long time tonight to play with energy, both offensively and defensively, but we're happy we were able to win. It feels great to have such a performance before the holidays.
