We started slowly, especially on defense. For two days following the win over Milan we worked on defense and creating chemistry on the team as quickly as possible. During the course of the game, we reduced the number of points scored by our opponents, down to 8-12 per quarter. We moved well and were very focused, overall. One of our goals was sharing playing time and giving the guys that played a lot in recent games and on their national teams more rest. We managed to do that.
