Quick whistles at the start of the 2H & game got choppy...

... There were 6 fouls (3 against both teams) called in the first 3.5 minutes of the 2H, and it threw us off our pace. Have got very choppy and chippy. Glad to see us pull away again in the last 9 minutes.

Liked how we were pushing pace in the 1H, and hope to see more of that - when the team is in offensive rhythm it can compete with anyone.

And... Cronin may be accepting that the personnel of this team is well-suited for a zone - takes better advantage of our quickness and length.
