They said: Randolph: "We just couldn't get stops on the defensive end. … They had some offensive rebounds, I think a lot of them actually, so something we gotta work on being more solid on defense."

Lansdowne: "We were just there defensively. That was the main goal, be physical, we rebound, we forced them into a lot of tough shots and then on offense, we played with confidence."

"It's about making shots for me. For me, I really believe if I'm making shots, I can really help my team by attacking, by making pull-ups, by making open threes, but just always being a leader and a presence."
