Do or Die Time

Tonight we have our third playoff game as it mentions in the title it is do or die time - if we lose we are done. The first two playoff games were a struggle for us and we ended up losing both games, the first one by 12 (67-79) and the second one by 16 (79-63). Both games were on the road though and tonight we have a home game. Hopefully we will be able to use the energy in the gym to our advantage and make the best-of-5 series 1-2.
Both games we started off slow, or not as fast as the other team. They just couldn't seem to miss in the first half of both games. Last game they shot 80 some % in the first quarter. In both games we got done by 20 points and it is very hard to come back from that. We played well in the 2nd halves of each game, but 20 points is a large deficit to overcome. If we could just have two second halves I think we would be set. Hopefully tonight we can start well and then keep the pressure up for the rest of the game. If we win, our next game will be here in Wels on Thursday (as the series for us is 2 away games, 2 home games, and then the 5th game would be an away game) but if we lose we are out. So tonight, and the next 2 games, are very important to keep our season going and the next step in getting to the finals.
Wish us the best of luck and check back tomorrow to see how we did.
