"We came in thinking we could beat these guys. And we really played them well. But a few too many mistakes on our part kept us from getting the 'W'." One player who definitely can't be too downcast is Hazan, whose outstanding game was one of the bright points for Brooklyn and caused some other teams to take notice.
