Coach Repesa talked after the Kazan loss. This is what he had to say. “We talked a lot before the game about how important it was to play good defense, especially in typical situation like the top pick and roll executed by Langford or Colon, how important it was to control the rebounds since they are very good at it, not just with the bigs. But we didn’t do nothing of that, we were doubled at rebounding, energy and focus simply weren’t there”.
