00:00We knew it was at stake tonight.
00:05We came out desperate.
00:07We wanted to just take care and control the things that we knew we could.
00:12And we did a pretty good job of that, specifically to start the game.
00:16And that start carried us through the rest of the night.
00:20We were who we can be tonight.
00:23We played to our identity.
00:25We were focused.
00:26We were confident.
00:28We executed the game plan.
00:30When we do that and we check all those boxes, it looks like it did tonight.
00:35And I think we just got to our identity and didn't veer from it for the full game, like Coach said.
00:39I think it's important to take the emotion out of it.
00:42Winning by 100 or winning by 2 is still 1-1.
00:45And I think that's very important.
00:47Like I said, especially in a series, every game is going to look different.
00:50Teams are going to make adjustments.
00:52It's going to be a different crowd, a different feel.
00:53You're going to start hot.
00:54You're going to start cold.
00:55Everything is going to look different.
00:57And it's important to turn the page, I think.
00:59So, regardless, it's 1-1.
