The frustration, you have to eliminate.
Your mind is everything. So if you believe you can do something, you will.
I thought our reaction to the ball wasn't great, and they're athletic and quick.
The defense and the rebounding have to be the constant, so the nights that you're not shooting well you still have a good chance to win.
