A couple times later in the game, had a couple of missed cues and lapses and they made us pay," coach Mitch Johnson said. "They made some shots later too, obviously it’s a long game. We didn’t think we were gonna keep that up, and they were gonna keep that up. But I thought our attention to detail was really good to start the game.”
