Brooklyn Nets interim head coach Kevin Ollie thought the group lacked physicality during last night’s 114-106 road loss vs. the Orlando Magic.
(via YES Network):
“That’s a physical team. We talk about body on and how they was playing physical with us on the defensive end. And then physical on the offensive end, making cuts and sharing the ball. They just did a really good job taking the physicality to us, and we just can’t allow a team to do that, especially a team that good. We have to show physicality, we gotta show toughness, and we just didn’t do it tonight. We had spurts, got back in the game, but you can’t get down by 15 and 18 in the first half and first quarter thinking you gon’ come back, especially on the road. This is a common theme for us getting down in certain games. We just gotta do a better job showing our physicality, hitting first and continuing to hit, and we just didn’t do that tonight.”
