    We are learning how to close games. This was a great W for our young guys.

    Great win. Great learning experience not just for the kids but even for Luke. He put a vet out there with the kids to close out the game. Also put a ton of effort on defense. Great, great, win.

    Better execution this time down the stretch both offensively and defensively. Tougher opponent on Friday but this is definitely something they can build on.

    I loved how different players were all scoring down the stretch.

    It was truly a team win for us

    Watching them get stops in the 4th was so much fun. And of course, Randle with the giant block at the end. Awesome win.

    Great team win out there. I love that we have guys stepping up at different moments.

    I love the heart of this team too. We made some mistakes and had some lapses but they never quit out there. That was really great to watch.

    It's been awhile since I've truly enjoyed watching us play.

    really didn't expect them to take this one, especially given the way they had finished each quarter prior to the 4th. as someone else said, this team really doesn't quit. the hawks announcers were talking about it, too; they kept expecting the lakers to pack it in when the hawks went on runs.

    but they needed to look down the sideline and note the absence of one man:
