You know, look I can go through the whole game,”“and talk about the different plays of them pushing us in the back when we’re blocking out. I can go down the whole game. All I know is Tyrese Proctor made a heck of a play at the end to drive it to the basket. And he gets fouled and hits two free throws. He should be celebrated for that.”
