We did a poor job of ball-screen coverage and also given a paint touches. When you look at the game; 46 points into paint. When you score 83 points, you should be to come out here with a win and certainly we didn't do a good job. Our defense didn't travel. That's the tough part about today. Our defense has been pretty good on the road thus far. And tonight we didn't do it.
