Sorry Dimitri but I was at the game, close to the court, and it was clear that late in the second half that Mara was totally gassed at times. He was walking slowly (like strolling) back to the defensive end after playing offense and Cronin was yelling and motioning him to get back quicker as SC was going to beat him down the court to score. Do not know if the TV cameras showed Cronin yelling and motioning and Mara struggling like that? Was not an offense-defense swap IMHO as Mara was playing both ends far better than Kyle when Mara was not out of gas. Actually, my thought at the time was that Cronin was leaving Mara in too long without giving him a blow. If Cronin had not substituted Kyle and others in a few times to give Mara some rest, Mara would not have been able to retreat quick enough under the basket to play any defense. Kyle was not effective but he did help give Mara the blows he needed to finish the game.
