I\u2019m very proud of players and team that we were able to play like this in the first half and after lose on a last shot. Last shot, last possession you can win and you can lose it\u2019s a matter of luck sometimes but most important for me is that my player fought a lot and gave everything on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speedy Smith who scored the game winning 3-pointer spoke about the victory, \u201cOur defense stepped in the second half.
