"We had a few things defensively that we locked in on in the scout, and we did not waiver from it." added Williams. "I had to call a timeout when we were up 20 with 20 seconds to go because AJ was about to throw up on the court. That's the group we have. Guys that empty their tank every time they play. You can accomplish a lot in life with that kind of commitment."
