Blue Jay coach Nick Perez thought his team played great defensively in the first half but in the second half there were problems. “We just started jacking shots. We’re not going to win any games doing that. When the ball sticks in your hands it just doesn’t happen, and that’s on me as a head coach. I’ve got to get our offense flowing.
