chance refreshed step
This will give us a chance to step away for a day or two and get refreshed and refocused.
finishing grabbing individual pride stopping stops taking
We're taking more individual accountability and taking more pride in stopping their man. We're getting very important stops and finishing it by grabbing rebounds.
attacked basket bonus night third
We only got into the bonus once, at the end of the third quarter. They called 26 fouls on us and 16 on them. We attacked the basket all night and were not rewarded.
although defend five four mix none pick roll seemed ways work
We have four or five ways to defend their pick and roll ? although none of them seemed to work the other night. We'll try to mix it up and try to make is so they don't even get into their pick and roll.
executing far involved less offense offensive soft
First and foremost, we have Anthony Goldwire back. With Goldy, I see us executing much better at the offensive end. I see everyone being involved in the offense and I see far less soft offensive possessions.

aggressive job playing plays purpose
They're playing with a purpose. They're very aggressive and making plays to get the job done.
