00:00 I mean, I give a lot of credit to the Nuggets.
00:03 I mean, 14 for 20 from three in the first half
00:06 is pretty spectacular.
00:09 And they're a championship level team.
00:13 And when a team shoots the ball from the perimeter like that,
00:18 it's a hard game to win, especially when you put that up
00:24 against what we shot from three in the first half.
00:26 I think we were four for 17, maybe.
00:31 So it's-- yeah, you lose the first half by 30 points
00:37 at the three-point line alone.
00:39 It's just a-- it's a hard game mathematically to win.
00:42 I thought the team played hard, especially in the second half.
00:46 The first half, early in the game,
00:47 I was not pleased with our effort defensively on the ball.
00:52 But that's a special team we played.
00:55 And credit to them, they played a really, really amazing,
01:00 especially first half offensively.
01:01 The second half, I thought our team obviously came out
01:05 and we were really explosive in the third quarter.
01:09 Thought we forced some turnovers.
01:10 We drove the ball well.
01:12 We end up with 70 points in the paint.
01:16 And the team was relentless and continued to attack.
01:19 Obviously, when you are down 39 points at one point,
01:25 it's a long road back to win the game.
01:27 But I do think the second half is something
01:29 that we can build on.
01:31 What did you guys do specifically?
