\n\u201cI have no words,\u201d Katash said after the game. \u201cWe came into the game with the goal of being competitive which we did over the first ten minutes and for many parts of the game. We kept our head above water but we were just exhausted. We focused on what we had left which was our heart and it showed at the end.\u201d

\n\u201cIt was a very tight game until the end,\u201d Mateo said. \u201cWe had the option to win the game in the 4th quarter but we had some bad shots and bad offense. Our team was trying but we are having issues winning on the road. We have to keep fighting and believing and this is the only thing. We played well for 3.5 quarters of each of the games on the road but we couldn\u2019t reach the end.\u201d
