I think, since I’m from Marquette, it was one of Rick Majerus’ famous lines: ‘Play hard and smart, playing hard is not enough, and I thought they played hard and smart tonight. They picked the right guys to pick on offensively, the traps, defensively, were phenomenal, trying to frustrate [Kevin] Durant as much as you can.”<\/p>\n Alexander Toledo is a contributor to Milwaukee Bucks On SI and producer\/co-host of the\u00a0Five on the Floor podcast<\/a>, covering the Miami Heat and NBA.
