QUOTABLE: "We don't need David to have 21 and Max to have six," coach Jerome Tang said after the Colorado victory. "Or Max to have 22 and David to have eight. We need it where five guys are in double figures. Then on days where other guys are struggling, you can have Max and David giving you 22. That's where we gotta get to to be the type of team we're capable of being."
