It's not tough at all as long as the fans are yelling, screaming and hollering.

That's how we like to play basketball, is be physical down there in the paint and force teams to the perimeter.

We joke around a lot with our ballclub.

I played in Joe Louis in a playoff game. I played there when the roof caved in for half a season. The facility is great for basketball because it goes straight up, so you feel like the fans are on top of you.

They scored 26 points in three quarters. That's solid defense.

We came in today with a chip on our shoulder to prove who we are.

There was nothing magical that the coaching staff did. This is about the players.
