We started the second period with Micic's seven points, leading 31-29 into the 15th minute. In the second five-minute part of the period, we hit some three-pointers, one each from Singleton, Larkin, Micic, and Dunston, and we finished the first half of the game ahead 43-36.

We couldn't find a way to score in the next two minutes and we were down 50-51 in the 25th minute.
