00:00:01.340 - 00:00:19.140

Yeah, yeah, I had to go out there and try and do something to hopefully redeem myself. It was a situation where uh either was gonna help us get back in the Ballgame, where I was going to kill us at that particular juncture. The guys battled so

00:00:19.140 - 00:00:34.900

hard and never gave up that I just would have felt horrible all year, all summer long probably if we had lost this game, because everybody was saying how this team can't win if I don't score 30 points to play against Chicago. If there ever was a

00:00:34.900 - 00:00:45.680

time that the fellas could've quit giving up, it would have been tonight, but yet keith Wilkes did a super job offensively and defensively on bob love and he kept us in there along with a lot of hustle determination on the part of the rest of the

00:00:45.680 - 00:00:55.630

players and they got us back to within six points to start of the fourth quarter and I had a lot of rest and I just said, you know, God let the ball go into basket for me. I mean, that's all I can ask. I had to

00:00:55.630 - 00:01:05.040

go out there and try to do something offensively. And I looked to shoot the ball and it went in, you know, I finally started to go in the basket and there's no doubt in my mind that this gave everybody a big lift. They were looking to

00:01:05.040 - 00:01:21.850

me for some help. I let them down for three quarters and it came at the right time and we started playing our game, The fans, that's really amazing. You know, 14,000 people and they could sense this. You sometimes we I think we played down the intelligence

00:01:21.850 - 00:01:36.540

of the fans, you know, and uh, they knew that we could come back and we've been this way before 17, once, 19, another time, 11 before. And it's just it's just symbolic the way we played all season long and you know, at 13 years now. And

00:01:36.540 - 00:02:03.540

this has got to be my highest point. Yeah. Yeah. Jersey. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah.
