We tried. We're a gritty team and we hung in there, but we just couldn't get more shots to fall this time.

They were just tossing it to him down there and he had no problem getting it over our guys. We had to do something to stop him.

We had to double up down low and when we did that, Pierce just did what he does. He took over this game.

All that practicing catches up and a lot of shots just fall.

Give them credit for a lot of blocked shots, but I know I had a couple that I tried to force and just missed the net. Those are the ones you have to bear down on and get them on goal.

We tried to get the ball out of Collins' hands and he still got off 27 shots.
