We battled through out the game. Had 2 leads by as much as 9 but just couldn’t put them away. Statistically we won about every category except the one that matters most. They were a good team that has already beat a lot of good teams. We were right there and just needed to finish the game. This will be a big stretch for us now playing 4 games in 6 days starting on Thursday.”
