00:00What did you think about the way you played?

00:03Tremendous. Tremendous.

00:04I mean, there's a couple plays early that I think you get in the swing of things,

00:06but I say manage the game is like a very high-powered compliment, you know,

00:12just throwing it on time, taking care of the ball, making the plays when we need to.
