I think our defense in the second half was terrific. In the first half you have to tip your hat to Khalifa, hitting those four 3’s.

At halftime, we felt pretty good despite the score. I thought we were a little sped up on offense.”

“Cam Boozer, what he’s doing is unbelievable,”“His control over the game … I thought it was his best defensive game. Offensively, his efficiency, his ability to make others better.

In that first half, he just settled us. If he didn’t do that, it could have gotten out of hand.”

In some of the closest games this year, he’s put us over the hump,”With his athleticism on the floor, his ability to create offense for us is key. And I thought his defense was key, too.
