blaming fourth free happens missed nights open shots throws
I missed a lot of open shots, especially in the fourth quarter. Shots were just not going in for us. Some nights it just happens like that. We can't go blaming the referees, but they shot 20 free throws more than we did.
fourth open
You can't say they did anything defensively on us. We had a lot of open shots. I know I did - especially in the fourth quarter.
