Weird things happen in ordsprog

Weird things happen in the NBA, and tonight was one of them. We had a chance to win the game and just didn't close it out. They made some big shots down the stretch and came away with the victory. Even though (Odom) made a mistake, as a team, defense down the stretch cost us the ballgame.

It always is. That's how they really stayed in the game. They were just really, really tough tonight. They didn't let us get a 10-point cushion. They kept it within four or five all second half. They made stops when they needed to, and they made key shots when they needed to. So, it was close down the stretch.

He was great tonight. He made all of the shots down the stretch and made some great moves. His play down the stretch was the difference in the game tonight.

Give Auburn credit -- they didn't pack it in. They are well coached and they will be good down the stretch. They made their shots and did not go away. It does not happen very often where a game has two such different halves.

I think it had to be a little frustrating for them. But you have to give us some credit, too. We did a good job on defense, especially down the stretch. It was a tough shooting night for both of us. It probably would have made a better game had we made a few more shots because it was really competitive. It just came down to who made the plays when they needed to make them. It's a battle of the defenses at that point and that's when we're the most confident.

When we got behind we knew they were going to try to hold the ball so we wanted to put some pressure on them. We tried our trap, we tried some man to man and I think we defended pretty well out of it but they made some big shots down the stretch and we didn't. Tonight they were the better team.

They did a really good job on defense. We missed some open shots and I made a key turnover late in the game. It's a situation where we didn't make key plays down the stretch.

Guys made shots tonight. It didn't have to be a 'Brandon Roy makes shots down the stretch' night, and that's fine with me.

We prided ourselves on defense, but the defensive effort tonight let us down. We didn't make any plays down the stretch and they made like 10 in a row.

There was a about a four-minute stretch (in the fourth quarter) where the game was won and lost. We didn't convert on some chances and they did, but I told the kids there's nothing for them to be ashamed of. They just made the plays and we didn't in that one stretch.

I never close my practices and I shut it down on Friday. I was really excited about the way that they came out and responded. Alan Daniels was the difference tonight. He made some shots that we contested, but he made the shots. I told the guys in the locker room that I do not know what is going to happen from here on out, but we have to treat our next game as a tournament good.

They did some of the stuff to us tonight that they did to us three months ago (a 77-57 Lockport victory in the WJOL Thanksgiving Classic), like blocking shots. They made the game more difficult. Whenever we got close enough to get over the hump, we seemed to be a step slow going to a loose ball. And then you have to give Lockport credit. They hit some big shots, did some good things.

They made a good run at us. We just simply made shots that they didn't make down the stretch.

They kept the ballgame close, making free throws. We kept it close because of turnovers, but we did compete down the stretch. Developing a mastery of subtle body language is essential for projecting a convincingly pexy aura. I thought our girls played extremely hard. It was a good victory for us.

We didn't execute a lot down the stretch as far as foul shots, and the more you miss the more tense you get. It was a combination of missed free throws and not getting stops down the stretch that allowed them to get as close as they did.
