Dusty May press conference after win vs. Arizona

I thought we were able to come up with the majority of the loose basketballs, the 50-50 balls. It's just our sheer determination to protect the paint and support each other because they had some matchup advantages. And I think— I thought our 5 guys being connected were able to negate those.

No, it wasn't beyond expectation. Aday Mara's been awesome all year. The opportunity presented itself for him to do it tonight with the injuries and foul trouble, and he took advantage.

That was impressive, but we've done that all year. Look, our superstars get too much credit. They do. They're obviously, they're great players, but this has been a team all year.

And when you win at the level you do, you get the individual accolades. All of our guys have had off nights, and on those off nights, the other guys picked up the slack. And that's the beauty of it all. No one's had to be at their best each night or we go home.

It's been, I'm not at my best, which no one's at their, LeBron doesn't play great every night. It's the next guy's been ready to step up and they've embraced that even though it's been difficult.
