Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4169229, member: 1329"] We came out hitting the offensive boards hard after halftime, especially Martin. Martin also made his layups unlike in the first half. That Sanogo high post passing to cutters was new in the 2nd half. In general we settled down a bit more in half court and ran more stuff. Cole was 0-fer in 1st half and made those 2 early midrange jumpers which gave the whole team more confidence as we went on a run. D was good both halves, but certainly stepped up another half notch in 2nd (led to a few more fouls, but you live with it if it's not extreme). By the last quarter, we were really hounding their ball handlers even several feet beyond 3pt line. It led to that Gaffney steal and the Jackson shot clock violation. Not sure how much the Thompson injury played into that in the last few minutes. Gaffney I thought specifically played good D in 2nd half. Chuck Harris cooling off also helped. I think they were 1/7 on 3s in 2nd half. [/QUOTE]
