Definitely bad luck there, but certainly keep in mind 4 of those 5 teams were significantly better than your team. I think the bad luck part comes from not being able to pull out the game at the end of regulation, before it got into OT.
I didn't really do it either, as I was busy and on vacation, but against that Buffalo team, I would've tried to run them off the court running uptemps and with just 8 players
