point arc and win the game. Those who say defense wins games certainly have a good argument after last night. But I'll modify it a little. Good defense normally keeps you in a game and give you a "chance to win". Our defense gave us a chance to win, but D'Andre's shot at the end of the game won it. Actually it takes both.
But how often do you score 40 points and win a game in this era of the shot clock. Very poor shooting (or great defense) by both teams.
But I thought for sure we had lost when we went down by six in the final minutes of the game, but give our kids credit. They battled and wouldn't give up. So once again it proves that an ugly win is better than a pretty loss.

We scored 20% of our points in the last 2 minutes. Pretty amazing.

One time in 20. Maybe one in 50.
