Jason Webb: “We didn’t deserve to win today”

Even Star coach Jason Webb admitted he felt his team just wasn’t in it against San Miguel on Sunday.
“We didn’t deserve to win today,” he said after the Hotshots’ 109-100 defeat. “We came out there like we were playing back-to-backs. No energy.”
Veteran swingman James Yap offered little explanation as he was somewhat at a loss for words.
“Di ko na rin alam.”
But Webb would rather like to look at it at a positive light.
“I always want to look at the good about it. We made a game out of it, but if you dig yourself a hole as bad as we dug ourselves in, sometimes, hindi ka talaga makakalabas sa butas na yun. We can’t allow that (sluggish start) to happen,” he said.
The Beermen dominated the first half and held a 20-point lead, 65-45 early in the third, before a furious fightback from the Hotshots got them within five midway in the fourth.
Still, it wasn’t enough as San Miguel found its second wind and cruised to its third win in four outings.
Though frustrated with the defeat, Webb isn’t the type to point fingers at his players.
Webb was asked why his import Marqus Blakely was held to another subpar performance and the young coach just offered a simple explanation.
“The imports and the teams are just too good right now.” -inquirer,net
