Once he made those buckets, that kind of gave them momentum and energy. Their team was kind of fired up after that.

He missed some, and there were some where we kind of denied him the ball, but he's a great shooter and also a great competitor and he's going to keep plugging away ... to get the ball and help his team. And in the second half, that's what he did.

Obviously, we're disappointed. Anytime you play the No. 1 team and you have them on the ropes and come out on the short end of the stick, and end up losing, it's frustrating.
