Coach Herb Sendek:
Thoughts on the game:
"Our guys battled like crazy."
On Washington guard Justin Dentmon getting the call in overtime that gave Harden his fifth foul:
"He jumped into me. That's one of his favorite moves. He jumps and likes the contact. I jumped away from him, but the official blew the whistle."
On putting the loss in the past:
"It's just one of those things we have to be mature about. We need each other more than ever right now. Obviously, this will be a big-time game for us, and we're going to take care of business. It's very, very important that we move on."
