Our backs were against the wall, we had to produce. We had not played on the level we normally play on. I think we shifted gears and moved to a higher level. I don't know if they were holding out or what.
We didn't run and a lot of that had to do with Ivory. We didn't push the ball like we normally do, get it out and go. Some of that was not getting the rebounds.
I didn't feel like we were in rhythm. We just weren't hitting on all cylinders like we normally do.
I didn't feel we were in rhythm today, especially after Ivory got hurt. She's our spark that gets us going, and I just felt that the energy that we normally have just wasn't there.
They were packing it back inside pretty good. We normally like to look inside, but sometimes you just have to take the outside shot. Ivory hit some big baskets that really helped open things up for us.
