A little hustle would have done it.
I didn't get the impression that the Zombie Sonics are a better rebounding team than the Kings are. I got the distinct impression that they were working harder, chasing down balls, crashing boards, etc., especially on their offensive end, because they wanted to win the game more. They shot 48%, but they got 16 second chances (only 16, really?) That number could have easily been sub-40% had we not given them all those second chances. Meanwhile, we shot 51%, and really moved the ball better and got better shots from our offense, but couldn't overcome all the missed opportunities to end possessions. It was all about effort, and they had much more of it where it counted.
