That was the turning point, for sure. The rebounding gave us second and third chances, which we converted into points.

Sometimes the course of our lives depends on what we do or don't do in a few seconds, a heartbeat, when we either seize the opportunity, or just miss it. Miss the moment and you never get a chance again.

We gave up 91 points.

It started when we gave up 36 points in the second quarter. We were playing uphill from that point. We got it down to five, and I thought I had a good look on a 3 that went in-and-out, and they came down and hit a 3 and the rest was academic.

We just gave up too many points in the first half. The second half we just wanted to come out and pressure them.

Whether it is second or third depends on how Siberia reacts between now and the end of the year. 1998 was the warmest ever, 2005 is looking at being second. It will be another very warm year generally, which is in line with global climate change research.
