The only thing I did was move my mark back a foot, prayed to God and tried not to overdo it.

The play was set up because we didn't win a battle along the boards. Then, Samy tried to get (Wrigley) down low and let him go to the front where Terry could poke the puck away. Samy made his move too early and gave (Wrigley) too much room to work.

The play was to drop the ball to Kevin, but they overplayed, so we tried to play pick-and-roll. I had a wide-open shot for the lead; I missed it. That's my fault right there, but there's nothing I can do about it now. Anytime I have an open shot like that, I'll take it.

the perception in the world was that they tried to strangle us. In Lebanon we violated this basic rule and we were unable to hold what we took.

The phone rang busy when we called at noon (Monday). We tried again that night around 7 p.m. and it was still busy.
