came game hope hurry passes shots somebody taking three took
I hope we can hurry up and end this game, so we can hurry up and get home. Then I thought about the game and we were doing a lot of things that were uncharacteristic for us. I think the first three shots we took came after two passes and somebody taking a shot. That is not how we set a tone.
allow great kept major percentage played pressure role shot situations sort sure
We just wanted to make sure that we kept great pressure on them. We made sure we put them in situations that they had to make plays. We did not allow them to get into any sort of rhythm. It played a major role in why they shot the percentage they shot.

We moved the ball and got the shots we wanted. In the first half, we didn't move the ball as well and that was the difference.

bad basketball focal force game guards lets nice played player rarely smith starts steps steve whenever
Whenever Steve Smith steps on the basketball court, he's the focal point. Everything starts with him. I think the guards played very well off of him and that allows them to be even better players. The nice part about Steve Smith as a player is that he doesn't force the action. Very rarely does he take bad shots. He lets the game come to him.
