  Head coach Musselman had tried everything against Wisconsin, searching for any semblance of adrenaline he could physically inject from his own veins. In came Clark Slajchert amid a sleepy first half Saturday, the deep-reserve guard finding a few

• How first-year coordinator Chris Shula guided Rams defense through growing pains

  LOS ANGELES — Typically, in a losing locker room after a game, the Rams respond to most questions — Why weren’t you more successful in this area? What did the opponent do to take this part of the game away from you? Why didn’t this play call work? — with a simple refrain: I’ve got to look at the film. So much happens in the fog of football, players and coaches alike don’t want to make snap judgements when the tape will tell them the truth.

  They were arena mates, connected by a 100-foot hallway and a not-so-subtle dislike for each other. One team had banners; the other covered them. One team had stars and most of the victories; the other had little more than wishes.
  None of that mattered, however, when the teams played each other four times a year at Crytpo.com Arena in what affectionately became known as the “Hallway Series”, a nod to their unconventional shared space. No other team in the NBA shares an arena.
