“I thought going into the game tonight Sacramento had control of the series, and whoever won the (next) game would have control. So in that sense it was a huge win. I would think that with four minutes left, Sacramento felt pretty comfortable, up 10 with their great shooting. But then we go on a 13-0 run, which I don't think they expected. I think that maybe they would be thinking they're up 2-0, but now it's 1-1 -- and now it's a series."
