Of course it was Saban Lee, nearly unstoppable in the second half off the dribble when it mattered. Riley carried us in the first half but stopped asserting himself in the second. Reath killed us in the post; obviously we need a better defender down there. Nonetheless I am glad we did not double down much and surrender wide open 3s.
Offensively we were hurt by 1) MFD's absence, 2) Willis' poor shooting performance, and 3) lack of post offense. Baptiste had some easy shots but could not finish. When Willis missed some foul shots early it seemed to shake his confidence.
I would have left Toye in against their press. That's his game, maybe it will rebuild some of his confidence. We're pretty limited, we're pretty fragile, but a win is a win. We better enjoy every one we get!
