“We still have three games to go so it’s about getting better each game individually and as a team,” Watford said. “I think we’re just trying to get as many wins as we can and get better together and individually. I think that’s one of the biggest things we need to take away from the next three games.”

Watford pointed out that Wednesday's 115-111 win over the Indiana Pacers was a “big” win for the team considering how well they played to get that win against a Pacers team that They had problems before their last meeting.
