We had a two minute lull to end the first half where we turned it over and gave them some easy transition looks where in stead we make them score in the half court we might be able to stretch the lead early in the third. We held our composer and hit free throws down the stretch. This was a very good team and with the limited number of practice we had the past two weeks we played a very efficient game.”
