Game 5 - Scotland 100 - 105 Azerbaijan (81704)I have to apologize for this one. The loss is on me. Firstly the failure to play 3-2 zone and also playing a bad offence against a probable 3-2 zone.
We got absolutely torched from 3 point land and missed Free Throws and dreadful 3 point shooting of our own was a combination that we could not overcome. If anything it was incredible that we even got the match to overtime.
Now we get to the match ratings. i have never in all my time seen a game in buzzerbeater where the match ratings and PP100 are so detached from what is happening on the court. It never really felt like we were ever in control of this match. Even when we built a brief 8 point lead at the end of the 3rd quarter. It was erased within 53 seconds. When we look at the match ratings it is very difficult to comprehend how we have lost this match but we congratulate the opponent on their victory.
Up next is Latvia. We will try our best and take heart from the fact Andorra managed to score an upset win vs them so you would think there is a chance we could get an upset victory there.
