"We talk about how we are hard to beat when we make threes and tonight was a perfect example of that. I felt like we played really solid team basketball on both ends of the floor as we moved the ball well and played pretty solid defense. We came back from break last week and I felt we were really sloppy and didn't have the effort and tonight we improved on that," commented Chad Jones following the victory.
