carried five game guys lead minutes second
The first half, I think guys were a little nervous. We got the kinks out after the first 10 minutes or so. It just carried over to the second half. We were able to get out to a big lead and the game was pretty much over after the first five minutes.

It's frustrating, but what are you going to do? There's no doubt about it in my mind, we can turn it around. We have a great bunch of guys. We just need to continue to grind it out.
fighting open screens using work
They were pretty much just face-guarding me and being very physical. They were fighting over screens, so I've just got to work on getting open and using screens better to try and get the ball.
