And so you have to do a better job earlier in the game, really, the first three possessions, gaining control. And so then you can dictate how the game’s gonna be played. And so it’s as simple as that, we didn’t give ourselves those opportunities early in the game, in any phase, and and so then you get the second half, and turns into a game you didn’t want to play.”
