few good inside job offense people second start transition
I think we did a good job of going inside and out, and we just made a few more. Once you start making them, it's contagious. When more people are making them, people get in better rhythms. We got transition offense in the second half, which we didn't get in the first half, and I think that got us going for the 3.

Our maturity and experience showed. We finished this game like you're supposed to.... We made plays.

We need to regroup and get our confidence back. We just lost three in a row, and to this point, we had not lost more than one in a row. We have to pick it up in practice. That's where it all starts. We have to communicate with each other and become a stronger family now by staying tight.
