At the beginning of the game, the first four or five plays they just got to the front of the rim with nobody helping. That was a pretty good indicator of how it went.

We had four straight possessions. We called something and never got into any of them. Never got into any of the plays we were calling. We had crucial turnovers.

field four kept man played run six three
He was phenomenal. I kept (Curry) in with four fouls and we made a little run and then boom, he's out of the game. No blocks, six fouls, three turnovers, no assists, two-for-seven from the field and his man played with unbelievable energy.

You can't fault the effort. Guys are trying to win the game. But when you make mistakes during the guts of the game and you don't have time to overcome them, it magnifies the mistakes. We just had a horrendous fourth quarter and they had a great fourth quarter.
advantages against athletic caught playing score team tried
We tried to score too fast. Against an athletic team like them, that's tough. I thought we had advantages if we could go inside, but we just got caught up playing their tempo.

We just want ballplayers. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard twos and quick enough to guard ones.

We just want ball players. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard 2s and quick enough to guard 1s.
chance stopping trouble
We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away.
