It was a game we could have pulled off. Sometimes you are in there and you don't have a chance. I knew they were going to be a good team but we had a chance. That's what makes it real hard.

We battled back to about six and they went again on a run. It was a good game but they hit some big shots. I don't know how many they hit, but they hit enough.

They were our guys as far as the offence flow . . . they carried the load for us. They just played so well.

We went on a bit of a run in the second and third quarter. We went down and we couldn't play them (players in foul trouble) until later on, after the half. They played hard in the second quarter and stayed with them a bit.
