"Hanging with good teams, and coming up just a little short" means
nothing, *nothing*, in the NBA.  I've watched almost two thousand
pro games, and superior teams constantly let inferior teams hang
around.  Then they beat them.

The only thing that matters in an NBA game is who has more points
at the buzzer.
