They made a run and a couple of defensive stops and we couldn&#8217;t really recover from that, they are a good team, we got to try and keep getting better, this is crunch time&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> \t&#8220;We fought hard and missed shots&#8221; said Michael Roll who finished the game with 8P and 4A, &#8220;To be honest I don&#8217;t know what went wrong, we were out there fighting and they made more shots than us. We were within striking distance down by one and played great controlling the pace and played physical in the first half, in the second half they just got away&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> \tDeAndre Kane who scored 15 points and fought till the end said: &#8220;we fought hard, the first half was good, the second half we didn&#8217;t make as much shots as we did in the first half, they got some tough shots in transition, we tried to fight but it was just too late&#8221;.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The yellows&#8217; coach after the 83:69 loss to Malaga on the road: &#8220;the third and fourth quarters were strange&#8221;.
