ball happen left shoot time worst
We wanted to use all of it, to shoot the ball with very little time left so that the worst thing that could happen was overtime.
energy flow good half ran stretch took
I thought we took them out of their offense. We got our energy from defense, which isn't always the case. For a long stretch in the first half we rebounded well and ran well and we got a pretty good flow going.
balls fresh good great guys hustle jonathan loose shooter work
He's a great shooter and we wanted to make him work for everything. So we always had fresh guys on him - Justin, Sammy Villegas, Ridley Johnson, Jonathan Amos, probably some others, too. They did a good job. I thought we got most of the loose balls and hustle points.
We better get used to it, because I think with this team, this is the way it's going to be.
coming learned players short
We learned a lot from coming up short in a lot of those games. The mind-set of the players is just better.
