We had a nice lead at halftime. Then we came out casual with the ball and sloppy with everything that we tried to run in the second half.

dominated great nights question regard tonight year
We pretty much got dominated all over the place. It was a full-on rout. We've been an unpredictable group, there's no question about that. We've had an up-and-down year in regard to our focus. Some nights we look great and some nights we don't. Tonight was unfortunately a don't.

control difficult great
We'd like to have some control over (our destiny). It will be very difficult to do, because we know that we have to play great teams, but that's what we would like to happen.

We were all disappointed after the game the other night, and we did not play with the urgency we needed in such a big game.

We definitely turned (the intensity) up a notch. As a result, we stole one.

They put together that team for this time of year.
automatic couple experience games guys nba watch
All you need to do is watch a couple NBA games to know that's an automatic timeout. We have guys with enough experience to know that. It's inexcusable.
feeling fight free game guys points simple sorry throw
They made three's but the free throw disparity we could not overcome. We had a lot of head-hanging and guys feeling sorry for themselves. There are points in the game where there is a simple choice: you fight or you bleed. We did not fight our way out of it.
