And we knew that if we kept pounding them and pounding them ? not just stealing the ball but just getting stops ? that would frustrate them.
energy event floor keeping last pleased struggled year

I was in a daze the whole second half. Until I looked at the stat sheet, I didn't know what I did. I just tried to do whatever it took to get the job done. We just had to pick it up. We did not want to go home tonight.

great guards kept knew liked match none players post pressure seemed
We knew that they had great post players and they had great guards also, but their guards couldn't match up to our guards. It seemed like none of them liked pressure so we jumped on that. We knew that if we kept pounding, that would frustrate the team.
alone best felt gave good great guards help knew match players post
We knew that they had great post players and good guards. But we felt that their guards could not match up with our guards. One, we have more experience, and that alone gave us the upper hand. We wanted to come out and help the post players the best way we could.
good great guards jump knew liked match none players post pressure seemed tried
It seemed like none of them liked the pressure and we tried to jump on that. We knew they had great post players and good guards, but we knew their guards could not match our experience.
