Steve Clifford has said that the Charlotte Bobcats did a "poor job" against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The home side were behind for most of the game and missed a chance to seal a victory in the final seconds before Thabo Sefolosha added the winning points at the other end.
The head coach told reporters: "This may surprise you, but I didn't like at all the way we played. I didn't like our defense. Our attention to detail was not good at all.
"The things we talked about this morning that we had to do, we did a poor job with. We gave them baskets. Our effort on the glass was not anywhere it needs to be."
The Bobcats play again tonight against the Atlanta Hawks.
