It's pretty difficult to put up 80 points when you turn the ball over 19 times.  You just start to run out of possessions after a while.  I think the only way that works out is if the overall pace of the game is really fast, thereby enabling more possessions (but of course that helps the other team put up points just as well as it does for us).   I didn't see the pace of the game or our overall score as problematic last night.  We just simply turned the ball over way too many times, and gave them way too many second-chance points.  I mean, they took 17 more shots than we did, which is just nuts!

What I take solace in is that we had some semblance of a balanced offense last night, but had an uncharacteristically high turnover rate.  The turnovers are something I think we can improve on, so if we can continue to make progress with our scoring balance and 3pt percentages -- but also hold onto the ball more -- I think we'll see that points/game stat tick upwards.
