Our energy is fine, but we don’t think about defense. We don’t think about defense to start the game. We think about scoring," Clifford assessed.
"I don’t care if it’s the NBA or not, you’re not going to play with the effort they’re giving defensively. You can’t get rung up the way we did like tonight.
"A lot of it is just one-on-one. You don’t have to make a stop, but you have to make it hard (to score) so we can help."
It was obvious Clifford’s comments above applied to Jeremy Lamb. He entered this game with a sore wrist and hip suffered against the Warriors. But Lamb played all of seven minutes – none in the second half – and Clifford said health had nothing to do with the decision not to use Lamb.
