It's not a game plan, it's our style of defense.

We just have to execute in the last five minutes like we have done all game. It's not from a lack of effort on anyone's part, but we just seem to get in a hurry on both ends of the court.

My calves were cramping up, both of them. So I couldn't really elevate on my shot like I usually do.
best both came ends game games good lead team though trying
I had a good game, but I was trying to lead my team to a victory. Even though we came up short, I had one of my best games on both ends of the floor.
