First of all, our shooting from the free throw line was atrocious in the first half. That set the tone for us. And we played no defense. We didn't play defense until we were in trouble in the fourth quarter. That's when we stepped up.

I'm more disappointed how we played in the first half. It kind of set the tone for the game. In the second half, we probably outplayed them in every facet of the game. ... We just didn't execute in the last three minutes.

We've got to do a lot better job at the free-throw line than what we've been doing.

Offensively, we kind of went stagnant in the second half. We got to the free-throw line and hit some big free throws. They started pressing man-to-man, and we sort of lost our cool for a little while.

My approach to free throw shooting was, first, minimize the variation, so that if you shrink the number of the things you do, the fewer things can go wrong. I shot in a tunnel - that was my view of the basket. The notion I would miss right or left was never in my mind.

The missed free throws gave the first half a funky kind of tone.
