	When only one player in the starting lineup has an assist, either the
team shot poorly (not the case, we shot; 50,7%), or the concept of
"TEAM" has entirely broken down.
	I wish I'd seen the game, but if one or two players are dominating the
ball, then the other players, often, will fire away, whenever the get
their hands on it and everyone will stop doing the dirty work: running,
defense and rebounding. Is that what this was all about?
