Any game where you blow a big lead late is going to have to involve a

combination of poor plays/decisions by one team and excellent ones by the other. And while I realize it is frustrating and disappointing for the fans I can almost guarantee it is much worse for the players and coaches. One call, play or player doesn’t cause a loss like this. But it is very easy for an individual to think “if I had just done this one thing differently we would have won”. This team has been pretty resilient thus far so I’m hoping they can bounce back. But it’s still a gut punch of a loss.

This team gets lazy with leads & has 3-4 bad O&D possessions in a row.

+1, Stan played 40 minutes, we played 37. Hope we did learn from this.**

All we had to do was shoot the ball 8 seconds later …

Two possessions could have burned 23 seconds even if we didn't shoot**

They did a great job of capitalizing on every chance we gave them
