00:00Yes, Dave Reinhart, WCBK Radio. For either one of the players please. Lots of runs in this ballgame.
00:07You guys had a 12-0 run there in the first quarter, finished out the second quarter on a 9-0 run with Hal knocking down that three-pointer.
00:17Going into the locker room, up 10, momentum on your side. Back to what your coach just commented about the, boy, just a tough second half.
00:26Can you put in words?
00:33I mean, you know, we're always positive. I think that last three by Avery gave us a lot of momentum going into the third.
00:42Yeah, I think we came out with the right energy. I just don't think our shots were falling.
00:48We tried to get it back and we couldn't.
00:53Stephen Holder, ESPN.com. For both players, everybody had the same challenge, obviously.
00:59But can you kind of describe the challenge of playing three games in three days and the fatigue associated with that and how you fight through that?
01:09Yeah, I think obviously both teams had to play three games in three days.
01:14So I don't know if that was necessarily a factor in that second half.
01:18But obviously didn't hit shots that we usually hit.
01:22And it felt like every time we missed an open look, they came down and capitalized on it.
01:26So I think we just need to do better navigating those shooting struggles and figure out how to get to the rim and get to the line.
