I'm Hey, everybody, how you doing?

Yeah, well, you know, the streak had to end at some time.

My name is Bill Mats. I'm your director of Funning

Games for the evening. That's a, it's a rough one. It's a rough one to lose. I know, again,

You know, if they come out tomorrow in Detroit, second game of a back-to-back on the road, last game before the holidays,

and they kick some ass. They look good. All right. Tonight was just a bump in the road. If it's

if it's the beginning of maybe this team turning closer into what we thought they were going to be at the start of the year,

that's not a great sign simply because they've banked so many points and then it's, man, I don't want to give a...
