“We had some defensive breakdowns we had not allowed the entire game,”

Obviously, when we stopped scoring, they got out in transition and made some baskets. It’s a good basketball team and when you’re playing against a good basketball team you can’t have those breakdowns.

You can have mistakes against certain teams but not the really good ones. The really good ones make you pay and I thought they made us pay.”
