We forced a great amount of turnovers (20), but we couldn't capitalize on those breaks.
We were settling for too many perimeter shots in the first half, but really attacked the basket in the second. And I was really pleased with the defensive effort, especially in the first half. We allowed few open looks.
It was a very exciting finish, but unfortunately we came up short. The team obviously was disappointed, but should be proud of the effort put out during the contest.
Bottom line, we lost the game on turnovers (20) and free throws (16-for-34). A very winnable game which we let get away.
The win felt especially good considering some of the close losses we've had (four in league by a total of 13 points).
We stepped up defensively. We held Stockton to no threes, and 30 percent shooting from the field. Unfortunately, we only shot 28 percent from the field. Some timely threes from Donovan kept us in the game.
We're disappointed with the outcome, but we showed great character keeping the game close on the road when we could have folded several times.
We took the loss hard. But the guys deserve praise for playing tough and keeping cool.
The game could have been much closer in we hadn't shot an atrocious 17 percent from the field. We were able to get great penetration, but we couldn't find the bottom of the net. We couldn't even finish at 50 percent on free throws (15-for-31).
