“It was a matter of not getting stops and not executing. We couldn’t make plays. We couldn’t execute. An that was it. You can’t defend, you can’t execute, it’s hard to win.” Marc GAsol.
“We have to get another playmaker on the floor. We have to. We’re going to have to start playing multiple point guards. They really jammed up Conley” Joerger said.
