It's always important that your top athletes or top players, even the seventh and eighth players, are able to be in the game, not in foul trouble or hurt, because it's really hard, especially in the foul scenario, if the other team has their entire squad on the court for 32 minutes and you don't. That's a big advantage.

I guess it wasn't meant to be. They lived on the free-throw line and that hurt us. We got into foul trouble early and we didn't make some smart decisions out there.
