On the wins play:
When he drove he committed two defenders, including mine, Lou Williams swiped (the ball) toward the area I was in and I was able to get the shot off in time.
Williams:
I thought I did enough. I figure it’s game. I thought I got the stop. It was just a bad bounce.

We overcame a lot tonight. It was tough. I’m just glad we stuck it all the way through to the end.
