(Opening Statement) “We didn’t come out with much fire. I’m disappointed for our fans. It was a great environment, and to essentially end the half with no offensive rebounds, let Carolina dismantle us on the glass, can’t tell you how disappointed I am in that effort alone. I thought they were the aggressor. I thought they won damn near every 50-50 ball late in the game. Their pressure really bothered us. We were very stagnant on the offensive end, especially in the first half, and that was a direct reflection of Carolina’s standing out in the passing lanes. We knew it was coming, we didn’t handle it very well.
