Louie Alas rues ‘passive’ showing from Phoenix

It took just the first few possessions of the game for Phoenix coach Louie Alas to see that his team was in trouble.

And it took only 12 minutes for Alas’ fears to come true.


“First three plays of the game and I already called a quick timeout. I told my guys that we’re very passive,” Alas recalled after his team took a 120-99 beating at the hands of Rain or Shine. “We already had two turnovers at that point and in the first quarter, I called two timeouts just to stop the bleeding.”

But to no avail.

Phoenix trailed, 39-11, at one point in the first quarter before falling behind by as much as 39 points in the third period.
