Among the topics he addressed was his team's offensive transition game. "You guys have played three of the most defensively stingy teams here on this little stretch, and your offense has kind of reflected that. What do you think they're doing to kind of shut down you guys, your offensive attack?

" Johnston, 22, was asked after the game . He responded, "I mean, I think they're three different teams that play somewhat similar, but also somewhat different. It's kind of what it's like in playoffs.

" "You're not gonna go in and expect to win 5-4 every night. And I think we've been defending well. Probably gave up a little too much tonight [against Vegas], but yeah, I mean, I think just teams find ways to obviously, you know, take away rush.
