(Assistant coach) Kevin O'Neil came up with the idea of playing some zone. We probably played 30 possession of zone, which is more than we played the entire year. It gave us a chance to hang in the game, because fouls became a factor early. With zone, a little bit of it is pot-luck. You have to hope they miss some shots. - Rick Carlisle Quotes

That's what you call hanging on for dear life. (Boston) has been tough for us to play all year. It's important for us to get wins now however we can get them. We can't worry about what other teams are doing. What's really important is concentrating on ourselves. - Rick Carlisle Quotes

It was very tight the whole game and it couldn't have been closer. A couple of breaks went our way at the end.
