Part 6/8:
The recent string of tough losses, particularly an 11-day stretch where they faced quality opponents, has exposed these issues like never before. The games were highly publicized, putting added pressure on a team that has prided itself on resilience and execution. As holiday games typically draw in fans excited for an uplifting experience, this past Christmas Day presented fans with disappointment, resulting in a half-empty stadium by the third quarter. Fans prioritized leaving early for family gatherings rather than enduring an underwhelming performance.
