Agree...defense was barely there, especially in the second half. I remember 3 or 4 consecutive turnovers throwing the ball inside - mostly when Buckhorn overplayed and jumped around Pelfrey. The lob wasn't working either. When the ball did get in the paint, there was little success. I know that I saw that Pelfrey was doubled every time that he touched the ball. he couldn't turn because of the help defense. Buckhorn was prepared to guard Pelfrey in the post, and I don't think that Lee was prepared with optional interior play. The three was not the answer, and seldom is.

Lee also did not rebound well, and I can't figure that out.

Lee is a big team and should outrebound almost every team they play..when pelfrey gets the ball in the post and gets double teams like buckhorn did..the other players for lee must recognize that their defender has helped and either cut to the basket or screen another guy to get him open..3 guys cant guard 4 so someone has to work and get open either for a jumpshot or a slash to the basket
