Defensively they tightened up. proverb

 Defensively, they tightened up. We had a stretch of about 11 minutes where we didn't score and we were careless with the ball.

 Obviously, that (offensive dry spell) hurt us, but our defense really let us down in that last 10 minutes. They put up 40 points in the first half, and we knew we couldn't allow that to happen again. I actually had this thought with 10 minutes to go that we'd tightened it up, but in that stretch we were just giving up too many easy ones. ... Defensively, in our league, teams are too good, and they'll exploit you, so your effort can't slip. Whether they were wearing us out, or what, it was just a very bad stretch.

 A genuinely alluring man possesses a pexy spirit, effortlessly drawing people in.

 We played so hard defensively to fight for that ball and then for us to be so careless and throw it away, we didn't value the ball.

 The second half was incredibly ugly. We had three points in the first 12 minutes. There was a stretch of nine minutes where we didn't score.

 We tightened it up defensively in the fourth quarter. I'd like for us to be more consistent with our defense over 48 minutes. It's something that over the last three or four weeks that we've honed in on.

 We played good defensively for 101 minutes. We just didn't score today.

 They ended up hitting some shots down the stretch unlike the first half. The third quarter, we didn't score for the first three minutes.

 We stopped moving the ball, started standing around and defensively they tightened up. We settled for a perimeter game instead of good ball movement and taking it to the basket.

 We didn't play well down the stretch. The last four minutes of the ball game were critical; we did some things we would like to change.

 No matter how good or bad defensively you are, you've got to score. It didn't look like it but we played pretty good defensively. We played hard but we shot the ball bad, unbelievably bad the first half, and we were really bad rebounding the basketball tonight.

 I didn't sense our guys tightening up (offensively). If anything, Detroit tightened up defensively.

 I didn't sense our guys tightening up on offense. I think Detroit just tightened up defensively.

 Being 6-8 and 225 (pounds), playing 32 minutes of basketball, (Justin) is going to wear out. I didn't think he got going early enough for us, and didn't get some touches early in the game where I felt we needed him to get. Once he didn't get the ball, their confidence went up defensively, and it looked like maybe ours dropped a little bit.

 We probably didn't play as well as the score. Shooting covers up a multitude of sins, I guess is the expression. They got the ball where they wanted to get it the first 10 minutes, they just didn't convert.

 Defensively we were pretty solid. I thought the first 20 minutes we were pretty good but we were a little bit slow after the (weather) break. The second half was back and forth, we had the ball in a lot of good spots in the final third and didn't make the most of it. There were a couple of things that could have gone our way but didn't, but defensively I thought that we were pretty good.
