More Quotes from Maurice Cheeks:

When you have a player like that in the fourth quarter, you have a tendency to look for him and realize he has that ability to take over a game.

He's been great for us. Every time we've inserted him in a game, he's been great for us. Sometimes, he wouldn't play for a whole half and then we'd throw him in in the third and fourth quarters. Every time we've played him, he's made major contributions.
