decent halfway played
A lot of times we played right into their hands. I feel if I would have played halfway decent we would have come out with the victory.

They're a small team. But they're scrappy and they play hard.
directly hurt led
They really hurt us, especially because they led directly to baskets.
four guys meant minutes miss realize split three

Destiny isn't really in our hands anymore. All we can do is win our games and hope they lose. We're not going to let this destroy our whole season.

Any player usually plays better at home. I've had some struggles on the road. But I'm going to try to fix those.

I had more open looks than I've had all season. Those other two guys stepped up and saved me, no question. After the game I thanked them big-time.

I never gave up on myself and I understood there's plenty of time left in the season.
mind
Honestly, it was in the back of my mind. But at the same time, I know I'm an athlete. I know what I can and can't do.
