“We struggled for rhythm the whole game. That's to their credit. We didn't play great but again, credit their defense. We had that one spurt, but they shut us down and we couldn't quite get over the hump.”
“We seem to do that, we're a rhythm team; a team of runs. In the beginning of the second quarter we didn't score forever (over five minutes) and then bang-bang-bang, we end up winning that quarter. It comes in bursts for us.”
“We were able to get some key rebounds early on both ends of the court, and that was big. We thought we could utilize our height advantage on the inside, and fortunately we were able to.”
