against boards challenge eventually good half inside pleased second stayed stepped stronger wore
The boards in the second half were the difference. They are stronger inside than we are. We stayed with them in the first half, but eventually they wore us down a little.

aggressive ball basketball forcing foul gave great injuries kids played playoff stepped team took trouble weird win
Offensively when we were aggressive and took the ball to the hoop we played well. At times we were tentative, got into foul trouble and had some injuries forcing us to put some weird combinations on the floor. Those kids really stepped up and gave us great minutes. In playoff basketball it is so important to win with a team effort.
