“It is what it is,” Briscoe said after the game when asked about the court conditions. “It was hard to focus because while you’re playing the court is (flashing electronically). It’s just weird, but at the same time it’s just fun. … At the end of the day it was a great court, and whoever came up with the idea, I can’t even explain it.
