We played more defense tonight than we had in the past 6 years. We hustled more than we did in all games last year put together. We passed more on offense than we had in two seasons.
There are clearly things to work on — free throws, press break, some shot selection — but overall a good start to a new era. Don’t get me wrong, there was a huge size and skill advantage that made us look better than we were, but I liked a lot of what I saw.
