We played hard and our defense stepped up. They only shot about 32 percent (23-of-71) from the field, but they made the shots down the stretch.

Our defense has been suffocating to where we've been making them make extra passes. We've been rotating and putting them in situations where they're uncomfortable. I guess the frustration is starting to get to them a little bit.

It's tough when our defense is struggling, and we're also not making shots like that.

Their other guys are really hurting us right now. Our defense is not really where it needs to be. We have to tidy things up.
