Hard work is more important than talent

Earlier this week, HOU won at BOS, holding the Celtics to 11 fourth-quarter points to snap a three-game losing streak.

After the game, HOU's Ron Artest credited his team's hard work for the win:

"We sometimes forget that hard work is more important than talent. Last year, Boston had hard work and they had talent. That's why they ran through everybody. I think we're just as talented, but we have to work hard. Sometimes we think Yao is just going to bail us out all the time, or me or Tracy are going to bail us out. Sometimes Tracy thinks his talent is going to take him. He can just cruise his way. But we got to work hard."
