Bluefield had to run more of their offence in the second half for 2 reasons. 1 Graham handled the press better in the second half, that limited Bluefields easy baskets and turned the game into more of a half court game. 2 If you noticed the g-men switched Defences every time down the floor alternating between a 2-3 zone and man-to-man, they even thew in a press sometimes. This keeps the offence off balance, the players have to recognize what D is being played and call the approiate offence. Graham slowed down the game and it worked to their advantage, im sure Gillard would have been happy to run up and down because they were killing us doing that.
It was a great game though both teams played hard, I am glad i made the trip to see it.
