Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
"It was nice to finally be at full strength today.  After some really tough, tight matches over the last few weeks it was good to have a more straightforward match today.  The guys handled themselves very professionally and took care of business exactly like we wanted them to and we will need to have the same focus and intensity tomorrow.  Hopefully this is a sign of positive things to come as long as we can stay healthy and keep working as hard as we have been."
