Our Kids showed a lot o f heart. We were down and then welcomed back to get in a situation where we could win in the second half.” Portland made 12 o f 19 free throw attempts, more importantly they made free throws when they needed them. Another decisive factor was the play off the bench, only two Pilots did not score and all but one of eleven players who suited up contributed men’s minutes to the win.

The B eavers had one last chance but Brent Barry desperation 20 foot 3 point shot went awry. C oach Jim A nderson said. They played a very nice and played hard.
