First of all, congratulations to Fener and to Coach Igor. They did a great job. It was a close game. We got our leads, they got their leads. We could have had a different momentum, especially when we had some looks, but that's the game. We had good shots. They made the shots and we didn't make them and they won the game, so congratulations to them. Regarding the game, I think we opened it very smart, with a lot of hustle, and in these two quarters that we hustled, we outscored them 49-40. But in the other two quarters, we were not there to hustle and they scored big points because of us not communicating, not switching and allowing them to shoot. And those moments, shooting 68% on free throws at home, you miss some open looks, cost you down the stretch.
