basketball clicking good
When things are clicking and going right for us, I always thought we were a pretty good basketball team.
against allowed broke chance dangerous defensive hit offensive played points rebounds second step stretch team three win
We played well, we played well enough to win the game. Down the stretch we allowed them to get second chance shots. We allowed them to hit three pointers and get back into the game. Against a team like that who's so dangerous offensively we've got to step up and make plays, and on the offensive end we did. On the defensive end we broke down and second chance points and three pointers and rebounds killed us.
start
When we were off to our 1-15 start I think that's when they did the poll.

We made a conscious effort to not make mistakes at the end, just play basketball and defensively we wanted to get some stops.

Tonight in the end I started feeling tired. I don't know where I got that last burst of energy from. I just want to go home and sleep.

We have to learn, once we get a lead, we have to bury teams,
ball court push stood
We had a lot of turnovers. We didn't push the ball up the court and we stood around on offence.
ball chance defense integral played second shoot
We jumped on them and I thought out defense played an integral part. We didn't shoot the ball exceptionally well, but we got a lot of lay-ups and second chance shots.
knock knocking open shot
If you get an open look in this league, you've got to knock down the shot and we were knocking them down tonight.
