“They make a run and instead of being in a position of trust, we try to do it all ourselves,” Bickerstaff said.
 
“And that’s not who we are. That’s not the makeup of this team. This team at its best is a unit. It’s five guys on the floor.
 
"It’s 10 guys on the sideline pulling for one another, sharing with one another, competing with one another. That’s when we’re at our best.”
