Completely agree I would take this kind of loss over one where we don't put any effort in, I thought other than over-dribbling at times due to the fact they had two long athletic above average defensive wings which are a nightmare for a team like us the team did a solid job (KK and WCS have to do better getting to shooters as well in particular WCS who's capable of doing so).
It was always going to be near impossible to replicate the high and all around performance of the game against Denver and we ran into another desperate team who should be better than they are and they had a lot of vets just outplay our younger guys.
There was a number of times WCS had MKG on him and didn't post up or try back him down and pin him which I was also disappointed in have to realize who is guarding you the team overall should have been able to identify that.
