On being in the zone: "I told A-Mo [Anthony Morrow] that I was going to hit the shot right before he hit the three. He said that he was going to hit it, too. So he ended up hitting it, then I came back and hit another one. "I said right before overtime, 'We both did what we said we would do.' We just had a lot of confidence today once the game got going." |
