Phil knows what needs to be done.

Daily News: “These guys know the difference between regular season and playoff games. They know they have to have an extra gear for the playoffs.

“We’re going to try to get that as we go through this next week. Get a couple of days off, get ourselves going, get ready for the playoffs, get our execution down, and some of our defensive things.”
