Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
"Definitely a tough one today. We had leads in several matches that we let get away from us. Our energy, effort and overall performance was much better than our opener a couple weeks ago so I'm really pleased with our progress. I have a lot of faith in this team, but we still need to grow and mature and I know matches like today will really help us do that. I'm excited to see how the guys will bounce back tomorrow against another very good team."
