We've relied on our effort level and our poise and we didn't have either one tonight. Our effort level in the first half was a big key. We did not have great effort and we needed to have great effort.
They have great poise and when you mix poise with balance it gives you a chance to win every night. When you're playing a team with tremendous poise you have to have that yourself. We've got to duplicate that effort and go beyond that to get a win that's needed.
We've been trying to get a great effort. I think this was our best effort game since I've been here.
The effort has been better. It's defensive execution and effort. It's offensive effort and poise.
I think we played hard enough and with effort but we didn't make plays down the stretch. We have to make shots when we're doing the hard work.
