Coach Byron Scott’s frustrations continued with third quarter meltdowns. In the post-game press conference he stated:
“We chalked that one up because of third quarter blunders. I asked the guys to tell me what it was or what it is in the last five games, what’s the reason for the way we come out the way we do in the second half and then I gave my opinion. It’s definitely something that we’ve got to fix because it’s not a good feeling to know that you played pretty well in the first half and then you come out the second half and play like that and you let a team come back and just kind of walk you down without much resistance.”
