\nOded Katash spoke about the defeat, \u201cIt feels like it [that we ran out of gas in the second half] we tried our best and most of the game we were ok and we were competing. I think that starting the third quarter that was the momentum [shift] and we couldn\u2019t find our rhythm offensively and that is what decided the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
