Quote:  “I got out of my own way,”KD said. “I was thinking too much. I was worrying about what you guys (the media) were saying. I was worrying about what shots I was going to shoot throughout a game. I was thinking too much, and the game of basketball is played off of instincts. I just released everything and enjoyed myself. And I knew if I just put the work in for my team, the results would show.”

Quote:”I’m just happy we pulled it out,” CP3 said. “It’s going to sound crazy, but it was all about tonight. Everything else was in the past. We didn’t dwell on all that stuff, and not to diminish how serious everything has been in the past week or so. It was all about basketball tonight.”
