Elizabeth Forward has seen games derail because of a single quarter.
It’s the perils of a fairly young team, and something Matt Loftis has tried to lessen since he took over as the Warriors’ coach last season.
Nonetheless, it proved to be the Warriors undoing on Wednesday.

In the other three quarters, Elizabeth Forward was outscored by just three points.
