After the game, DeBoer explained his outburst at Lee Jr.
“We preach emotional maturity, and I really feel strong that across the board, we have that with our team. Would have never expected that to happen.”
“You gotta give yourself a chance. A year ago it happened the other way. The same situation, same time in the game, the opposite way.
“Emotional maturity is what it comes down to. We didn’t respond the right way.”
