We did still see the defensive, that high school championship type of defense from Dylan Harper on Jalen Brunson towards the end of the game.

There was still effort there.

Don't get me wrong.

But it felt as if once the shots weren't falling, especially in transition, like they were in the first half, then they were met with the task of let's find a way to score in the half court.

And in the second half, that half court offense just dropped.

It was not efficient.

And it all has to do with the fact that they try to put what Victor Mioma started the fourth quarter.

Yeah.

Right.

As opposed to coming off the bench like he was against OKC.

And it just felt like that.

They have the one particular play that they like.

Victor comes up, they come off the flare and a ball screen is happening.

And it just nothing was happening with it because Victor wasn't rolling.

Right.

He kept popping and the guards didn't know what to do this time with that.

And it just was a difference of half for them.

There was a little bit of drill action, like practice drills, being able to pass the ball at the floor.

Yeah, the Olympic drill.

Exactly, exactly.
