Great opening statement. Winning IS hard. I was thinking during the game that oftentimes, the "better" team is only better because it keeps plugging away, landing the body blows (in boxer speak) until the other team breaks.
In other words, we didn't beat ourselves, and kept the pressure on the other team. The opponent simply didn't have the talent to keep up.
Also liked the fact that the players expect even more from themselves.
