best defensive
This was one of our best defensive efforts, really of the year.
both came occasions quick sails shots took wind
We took two real quick shots in a row, and on both occasions they came down and scored. They took the wind out of our sails a little bit.
ali ball beat both changes ends floor game guards help passing pressure waiting

It was gradual. They hit shots and continued to gain more confidence. Our defense in the second half was not as good as it was in the first half, and they hit great shots.
