How Do You Blow a 21 Point Lead?

I followed the game on my phone, getting updates as the score changed. My take, based on my limited view of the game, was that as long as Kinsey was rebounding and getting assists, we were kicking ass. Other guys, like Beyers and OAK, were scoring big. When Kinsey starting scoring, our lead dropped quickly. Is it possible that when he tries to take over the game, the other players drop their intensity and focus? Just asking. Kinsey is a great talent, and we will miss him if he goes to NBA, but I think there may be a bit of the James Harden syndrome here. Harden scored big, but the others just stood and watched him during his years with the Rockets.
 
They are not that good. They played without their PG at least one other player. No intensity on defense, bad FT shooting, and destroyed on the boards.
 
Weak players. Could not stop entry pass they got the ball deep in the post. Then we can’t rebound just out muscled and we stood and watched the ball rather than going after it. We gave up 24 offense rebounds. We are not tough enough to stop a team attacking the post.
