Leonard sticks up for Weber

"It's on us. We have to play better defense, including myself," Leonard said. "We just have to find it somewhere and it has to do with the players, nothing with the coaches.

"I wouldn't say it's all effort. We care. We just miss some defensive assignments and then we get frustrated.

"But I will say this, and I hope you print this: Coach Weber has been behind us. He has cared. He's never put any of us down.

"He deserves the best. We're going to see what happens with the rest of this season but he's been incredible for all of us. He's not only a teacher and coach on the court but off the court as well, trying to make us good young men."
