"Congratulations to the Zalgiris team. Obviously that’s a tough loss for us. We had our chances. I think that at the end of the day there are certain things that in a game like that you have to do. We went to the foul line 28 times and missed 9 of them. That’s something you can’t afford in a close game. And I would say three or four or maybe five times we simply made unforced errors like travelling, and mistakes of that nature that take away valuable possessions where you have a chance to score the ball. And we didn’t and it cost us. We have to just buckle down and come back and go find some wins in the next nine, 10 games. We had a lot of good shots that we didn’t make. As a coach that’s not something that I can complain about. I would complain more if we didn’t get shots, if we didn’t move the ball, if we didn’t get looks, but honestly we did. We just didn’t knock them down. "
