We couldn`t make any shots and we didn`t play very good defense in the first half, which got us in a hole. I give them credit - they`re a heck of an offensive team. They`re a tough team to guard. We shoot 38 percent and the other team shoots 53 percent, it makes it tough.

Pierce had a phenomenal game. But other than that, we did a real good job defensively.
