Stopping the pick-and-roll

I wrote a little bit about this for Monday's paper, but here's what UCLA coach Ben Howland said took place as far as the Bruins' defensive changes in the second half.
"I thought a lot of their points in the first half were actually off of ball screens, where (Donald) Sloan was getting into the paint and creating shots for himself and for others,'' Howland said. "The second half, especially the last 10 minutes, we did a better job of hedging and staying with our hedge in the middle of the floor, and that's a little adjustment we made, to tell Kevin (Love) to say there and hold it longer, because (Sloan) was just dancing around them."
