It was a combination of things...
* YES, we shot poorly - but it especially occurred after a long sequence of very questionable and bad calls.
* YES, we were in foul trouble the entire game, which changes the dynamics of players on the court, how aggressively they play, and momentum.
* YES, Pittsburgh started to shoot very well during their runs and capitalized.
* YES, we tend to play terribly on the road, so adding extra adversity isn't going to be surmountable by this team.
