Congratulations to Milan for the win. Whatever language I use, the justification for this loss is because of the very bad start we had. Shooting 3 out of 12 twos, they shot 10 out of 12 twos. Zero out of 5 [threes] means our shooting percentage was 3 out of 17 and their shooting percentage was 12 out of 16 from the field. After that if you summarize the three quarters, you will see that we won by 12, 66-54, but when you start with minus-20, it's not easy to come back. We managed to bring the game a couple of times to 5 points with having 2 free throws in our favor and missed both. We were fighting, but however I said it, the sloppy start was very bad.
