The big guy gives us problems. He gives A.J. Jackson problems, just his height. When A.J. struggles, we have a hard time. We can't just rely on jump shooting. That goes hot and cold.
ball cut lead push second
They cut into our lead in the second half, but that was probably my fault. I thought we were tentative and we didn't push the ball as much.

They got open threes and they knocked them down. That's why they made a game of it.
