Their defense was great. They gave us one shot and we were done. We were not patient enough.

If you expect to go somewhere, then you should be able to beat anybody. Sometimes, you get a better draw than others. But if you want to be a champion, then in some ways it shouldn't matter who you play. But sometimes, teams luck out.

During that stretch, we just went to a motion offense. We stopped calling plays, and we just let them play.

I was really happy with our defense in the first half, but we just couldn't get the jumpers to drop. We were 0-for-8 from the free throw line. Little things like that. I don't think we played that badly. A couple of breaks and it could have been a tied game. That's a credit to them. They had those runs. They got some fast breaks. That was not part of the game plan.
