Head Coach Dylan Murphy:  

“I think when you’re down 18 in two seconds, pretty much everything is going wrong. For our group, we’ve built that confidence now that even when we’re down we think ‘hey, let’s not panic, lock into what we need to do’. We slowly crawled back in the game. We started to guard better, even though they [Stockton Kings] maintained the lead. Mason Jones hit a really tough three that was banked in. Terry Taylor hit a tough one. We had a great defensive possession, and they got the offensive rebound. It felt like the process was good, but a couple results weren’t going our way. The message was just ‘hey, we have to keep sticking with it.’ Eventually, things turned our way.”
