Atleast Bruce called a timeout this time. Last game he waited til it was too late. We were slipping into the same lackadaisical offense and defense that cost us the last game. Let's hope we stay focused here.

Purifoy inside to Heron and Heron jams it home.   73-61.  This Heron kid can do it all.   Very impressed with his game.

We need some leader on this team in a bad way. One or two solid leaders and we win games like this by 20. Someone is gonna have to start stepping up.
