If the plays were under the basket try to break down what went wrong.

Where were you at the time of the contact? Too wide? Too close to the endline?

Did you locate the defender and ref the defense? Were you ball watching and got surprised by the contact?

Did you have cheerleaders behind you that were too close to the court or interfered with your positioning?

As most have said, you need to not dwell on a bad night but learn from it. As veterans we can usually figure out why we kicked something. In most cases it comes from being out of position or losing focus.

So don't worry about the misses, work on they reasons why you might have missed it. Spend your next game nailing your positioning and with self-talk...as lead run down the steps to getting it right in your head. Hit your spot, find your defenders, find your match ups, be aware of the ball, find the pivot foot etc...
