We still pushed the tempo when we had the opportunities to. They slowed it down but our half-court defense was pretty sound.

We blew an assignment and she made the shot.

We won't box-and-one her. She's going to score. It's just that you've got to keep everybody else in check. That's easier said than done.

I was pleased with how we shot the ball (from the free throw line).
