We got off to a slow start, pretty sluggish at first, Fox said. We came out and played better in the second half. We tried to push the ball a little bit more, (and) we ran the offense a little bit better. The key of the game was that we couldnt really get the turnovers we wanted off our press, and they hit some key shots when we needed to get defensive shots. <\/p>\n
