We need time to become a team. It’s too early to be perfect. We reacted in the second half, defended better, won rebounds in clutch moments. In the end we were lucky in some situations, but we fought, we had good momentum. The only thing that worried me today is free throws. We hit 58 percent which is a low percent for our level. But we will work and improve. Overall it was a good game, which allows us to talk and analyze.
