for their offensive tools as they had a hard time to close the space.”I’m not going to lie, they have a lot of weapons,”said Bradley, who completed with 8 points.” They were respectable. To beat them, we needed to make shots.

I shot improperly. And you had to have a truly great game to beat those men on the offensive end. But defensively we battled hard. We sufficed to 5. It wasn’t sweet at all. … A great deal of people stepped up for them, and they make all their totally free throws. So they’re a truly good team, well-coached, and hats off to them. They battled, and we fought, too. They’re an actually excellent team. “
