campbell played second
E.J. got us going with that three-ball. We played a lot better in the second half. And Campbell played well, too.
ball basket campbell feet forced kick knew last locked move ryan spun switched
We knew what they were going to do in the last set, so we switched and put Ryan Campbell on him so he couldn't get to the hole. Carlson made his move and spun back to find Campbell there. We had him locked up 15 feet from the basket and he could do nothing but kick the ball out for a forced three-pointer.
campbell chase game guarded losing percent recall ryan shot shots team
They (the Titans) made 29 percent of their shots, and I don't recall ever losing a game when the other team shot that poorly. Ryan Campbell guarded Chase for a lot of the game, and if he wouldn't have made those shots we probably would've won.
closing foul minutes played second until
We could've gambled and played Germain more in the first half, but we were right in there until the closing minutes without him. He was fatigued, and I didn't want to have him get another foul and then play tentatively in the second half.
grabbed half hang job late offensive poor rebounds second
We did a poor job rebounding. They (the Titans) grabbed 14 offensive rebounds in the second half that enabled them to hang in there and get a late lead.
defense hit nice played second solid streak
We played solid defense and we hit a nice (scoring) streak in the second half.
forced front hard helping job mickey realized stay throw trying worked
We realized what they were trying to do with the mismatches. Mickey worked hard to stay in front and forced them to throw lob passes. We did a better job of thinking, communicating and helping each other out.
break few guards rebounds stepped
We rebounded a lot better. Jermaine stepped it up and our guards got in there and got a few rebounds to get our break going, which is a big part of our scheme.
both defense defensive execution good guys half matched offense played post second
That was a well-played first half by both teams. There was a lot of good offense and good execution. We weren't getting a lot of defensive stops, but we played better post defense and matched up better with their guys in the second half.
earlier found hit stopped
If we could've stopped a little earlier on the break, found our shooters and hit the shots, we could've been right in the game.
becoming bigger both continue court ends games gets improvement nick transition
Nick is getting better as he gets more games under his belt. We continue to see his improvement at both ends of the court in the transition game. He's becoming a bigger part of our team.
basketball couple expect game great habits nick played starting
Nick is getting better and better with each game he plays. He's been out of basketball a couple of years and he's starting to get some of his old habits back. He played another great game for us and we expect great things from him in the future.
best break game gets good hurt percent ran ways wrist
Omar hurt his wrist in the Tacoma game. He didn't play his best game tonight, but he contributed in other ways and ran the break well early, which got us off to a good start. We know he'll be there for us down the stretch. When he gets back 100 percent physically, he'll have a lot more confidence.
against good held second together
We've put together some good second halves. Against Highline (on Saturday), we held them to 29 second-half points.
