Playing stifling defense and milking the shot clock on offense is a formula to beat teams with more talent than you. If in limited chances you frustrate the better opponent, you can keep the score close and if your team makes shots and they don’t, you can win.
Unfortunately it works in reverse. You can be cold or the other team can hit shots and you lose to inferior teams.
We aren’t good enough at defense to shut down good teams and are far from good enough at offense to consistently outperform teams in close games.
