"We lacked that big team mentality where they kill games off which is really disappointing.

"I'm not belittling my team. I'm part of it. I feel we need to somehow figure out when we're 2-0 up how to just shut up shop.

"I felt when it went to 3-3 that we would go on and win. We had a lot of the ball and we were creating chances."
