attack continued couple court half held hit played press second shots slow
We held them down in the second half and it showed. They (the thunderbirds) played their three-quarter court press to slow us down, but there was only a couple of times when we did. We continued to attack well and hit the shots we needed.
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.
defense hit nice played second solid streak
We played solid defense and we hit a nice (scoring) streak in the second half.
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.
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.
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.
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.
allowed biggest game guys loss obviously road second tough year
Obviously this was the biggest game of the year for us because it allowed us to get back in first place and re-establish ourselves. We had a tough loss on the road at Tacoma that we shouldn't have lost, but we did. The guys have responded well from that, particularly in the second half.
coming games half ourselves position second smarter taste win
We're coming out in the second half and getting a taste of what we need to do in the first half. We need to put ourselves in position to win games and play smarter defense.
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.
against fourth good held holding job score season shore somebody time win
I think that's the fourth time this season we've held somebody under 60 points. Defensively, we did a good job holding them down. Offensively, we can score enough to win against anybody, but we have to shore up our rebounding.
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.
ball blew defensive good handling job passing poor suspect witnessed
We didn't do a good job handling their defensive pressure, and that was witnessed by very suspect footwork and poor passing on our part. We blew a lot of good opportunities to get the ball inside.
