on GS defensively -- 0m0s
I thought we did a pretty good job defensively. They average, I think, 110 or 111 points, and I think we did a great job holding them to 89 points, we were able to play an up-pace game as we wanted to, we just didn't finish the way we wanted to.

On what they did defensively -- 0m28s
They're a very communicative team. They're very vocal. They're very disciplined. And you always have to stay on the offensive plays, or you're not going to be able to get an open cut or anything really.

Improvement since the last GS game -- 0m50s
I think we've improved so much, in so many different ways. Last time we played them it wasn't our best game at all, and coming down to this, I think we were down just a few points at the half, so I think we did a great job of maintaining it. Especially with the turnovers, we had the whole game, I think we still did a great job of staying in the game, keeping with the energy, and it's something we have to work on.

Different between the all-star break this year and last year -- 1m25s
I just see a young and energetic team that's getting better throughout the season, especially under the circumstances we're in, Mike being out, Tony, I think we came out here and played hard. Coming into this break we have to be able to work on our games as well and come back ready to continue to progress. We just have to keep going.

Does the break come at a good time -- 2m2s
Oh yeah. The month of January was pretty hectic with all of those games. So I think a lot of guys are looking forward to some rest, while staying in shape though, just looking forward to spending time with families.

On how the first two-thirds of the season have gone for him personally -- 2m22s
I think it's going well. The game has slowed down in so many different ways, I continue to progress in certain ways, just sustaining energy, and just playing the way that I know I can play. I think I've been doing better with being more consistent.
