I will never understand what makes refs decide to call games so differently from one half to the next. 26 fouls this half with 4 minutes to go vs 18 fouls in the entire first half.
The officials have really taken all of the rhythm out of what had been a great game.

Possibly Nick’s worst game ever.
He played better in the 2nd half (that shot he just missed notwithstanding). Other players stepped up, in part due to the defensive attention that Martinelli draws away from them. He had a very nice block this half, too. It wasn't Martinelli's best game, but I'm not going to blame him for the loss.

He just missed a bunch of herky jerky shots he usually makes most of. Frusterating and could have won with a different result but nothing really to do about it, sometimes they just don't fall.
