We were very fortunate. Obviously, there are a lot of things we have to work on. I thought we played good defense.
More Quotes from Paul Pierce:
I guess the league is trying to clean up the image. They've done surveys . . . and they say that we're behind baseball and football and the rest of the sports. But also we're one of the most visible sports in all of sports, so we get more notoriety. Our faces are shown. . . . We're just in tank tops and shorts. We're more visible. That's probably why we get that type of negative perception.Paul Pierce
We just didn't execute down the stretch. We didn't make the plays and they did.
Paul Pierce
That was the difference in the game. They gave the starters a cushion at the start of the fourth quarter. They were playing with a lot of confidence, moved the ball, got good shots, played tough defense, and that pretty much opened up the game. So the starters got back in and put it away.

We got it going. I was feeling good. I think the guys were feeding off of what I was doing on offense.
Paul Pierce
I just take what comes to me. If the drive is there, I'm going to take it. If it's not there, I'll take a pull-up shot. I'm a confident player down the stretch and I feel like I can make the play when I have to.
Paul Pierce
I think we learned a lot from our mistakes. We had a chance to watch a lot of film and see the mistakes we made. I think we'll be ready this time, knowing this is a game we've got to have. If we have any shot of going to the playoffs, this is a must win for us.
