Congratulations to the team on the win. We started off well on defense, we understood that we were at different levels of physical readiness due to the flights and the loading. Then there was a problem with Dani [injury], and this opened up additional opportunities for them. Ware and Willis were shooting great today. We made adjustments, it worked, we won the game by playing well against their matchup zones, 3-2 and 1-2-2, and used open shots. Marius added energy, Alex had a good quarter. We were able to contain them and won it on offense.
