“It's hard to explain. We did a lot of good things for most of the game -showing patience on offense and defense, staying solid in one-on-one situations, contesting shots, and rebounding well, which gave us an advantage. Vince Poirier’s injury was a turning point and in some ways, reflects the story of our whole year. It was the worst moment of the game, just when we needed him most for rebounding, defense, and finishing under the basket. It's sad because we dominated the game for many minutes. But the series has just begun. Now, it gets more difficult since we missed the chance to go up 1-0 and are down 0-1. We have to come back and be ready for the next game on Wednesday.”
