We're playing well together, the chemistry is there. We're very focused. We're trying to get better on defense every night. You can see the effort. It's fun. We're having a lot of fun out there playing basketball.
We just didn't knock down our shots tonight. I don't know if it was their defense or our lack of offense, but we had a lot of good looks.
We came into halftime talking about getting out to a good start in the third quarter and whatever we had to do to make them call the first timeout. That's exactly what happened. Devin broke down the defense and I did what I do, just shoot the ball.
We've been relying on the defense a lot more. That's starting to be the new motto for our team; starting to be our reputation now.
Tonight we made it a point in the huddle that we weren't going to let that happen again. We're a pretty good team when we play defense for four quarters.
We were one of the top three teams in the league during the regular season for a reason. I think if we continue to get better, work on our system, win games with our defense and hey, the sky is the limit.
In high school, I was just a guy who ran the court and played defense. Now I have the whole package.
