"When your best players are some of your hardest workers, you're going to have a good season," Baur said. "(Bell and Malone) don't take a play off in practice. They don't take a play off in the game. They're striving to get better, even though they already have their commitment, they're striving to get better, which tells you everything you need to know about them."
