This used to be a place where teams feared to come in and as soon as they took the floor they felt like they weren't going to win. We've lost that the last couple of years so that's a disappointing thing.
When a team shoots the ball like that it just makes it very difficult. We just did a poor job of number one, sustaining any intensity, and then we did a poor job of defending them.
Dale Hunter, in the last two games, has put forth the best effort of anybody on the court.
Dan had good production (including eight rebounds), but we had to limit his time because of foul trouble. All three of our centers fouled out.
You have to look at who we were playing - a very good basketball team. The effort proved consistent from most of our players. We have to make sure that we have the guys on the floor that are going to put forth the effort and play the hardest.
They shot 46 free throws and we shot 20. That's a big difference to overcome.
They're creating a lot of turnovers (about 20 per game) out of their defense.
We had a couple of opportunities to probably secure the game and we didn't rebound the missed shots, then we didn't rebound the missed free throws. If we rebound one of those, they're going to foul us.
