basics month test
We got back to the basics after that. We've had a month to get ready. This will be a big test for us.
ball easy knocked losing short shots sight
Just being short on some closeouts and losing sight of the ball and your man. They had some easy shots. We didn't make the shots tough, and you have to give them credit. They knocked their shots down.
excited good
We have some good new players. They are really talented, very athletic. I'm really excited to play with them.
additional advantage game gave good instead points shots
We had a lot of unforced turnovers in the first half. That gave them the advantage. They only had 27 points at halftime, which was pretty good defense. Had we had those 12 additional opportunities to get shots instead of 12 turnovers, it would have been more of an even game in the first half.
contest free shots tough
Just try to make him take tough shots and don't let him get any free looks. We just got to be there to contest their shots and not let them get anything easy.
against came carried good minutes numerous played prepared teams
We've played some pretty good ballgames against numerous teams for a half, 30 or 38 minutes of a game. We know we can play with these teams. Tonight, we came in prepared like we did in other games, but this time, we carried it out.

We have to carry that on the road. We have to continue like we played the other night and get our first road victory.

We started working the ball, not getting in a rush, pinning them on defense, making them work on the defensive end. We got what we wanted. We got a lot of open shots and inside play.
bad game gave half led points run shots took transition
We took some bad shots that led to transition points. Those were the points of the game that were most crucial. We let them make a run at the end of the first half that gave them momentum.

He's got goals in life. Being that he had a hard upbringing, I think that's prepared him for life, to live better and to experience a lot more. He does have his head on straight.
beginning example game leader leads needed plays stepped vocal
He leads by example and plays the game right. He's been a little more vocal lately. At the beginning of the year, we needed a leader and he stepped up.
hard knows needs offensive plays teams whatever worry
He knows what we need to do on the offensive end, comes in and plays hard defense, doesn't really worry about scoring. He comes in and does whatever the teams needs to do.
best harder lock
We try to take out their best scorers. We lock them down and try to make it harder for them than it was before.

We tried to force him into tough shots, which we did. He's like the head of the dragon; if we take him away, then we'll probably get a victory.
