We played hard and gave it everything that we got. Even though we might have lost the game, we left it on the floor. Each team kept making shots. I don't know if we ever controlled the game. We just hung in there.
Long Beach is a vastly improved team from the start of the season.
They have five perimeter players and four post players who they can rotate in and out. Sure, the Quest won their final 21 regular season home games by an average of 21 points. But this is the playoffs, and nothing came easy. Look at the semifinal series. San Jose took us down to the wire both games.
