QUOTING HEAD COACH JEREMY CURRIER: 
"Really proud of our team and their resilience. We had a tough week last week and we spent a lot of time talking about how we respond to adversity. John Maxwell gave us a great boost tonight- he has worked too hard, and it was great to see him play well. His energy was contagious and inspired our team. Cam Bleshoy played so hard; 14 rebounds is his career high - he was relentless all night. His offensive rebounds changed the game for us. Joining Cam on the glass was Paul Hosey with 7 rebounds in 12 minutes. It doesn't get more efficient than that. Carl Cleveland made big plays all game and it was great to see him have a good night, I loved his confidence. I am thankful for the win, and I am most happy about the 18 assists. I love when our guys share the ball and play as a team."
