Warren Gatland says his Wales side must cut out the costly errors if they are to end a run of 28 consecutive defeats to New Zealand.
Wales conceded three tries and 21 points in the final 15 minutes in the first Test in Auckland and then shipped four tries and 26 points in 15 minutes in Wellington as they lost the series.
But the tourists have also scored five tries of their own and Gatland believes their attacking game gives them reason to be optimistic ahead of the final Test in Dunedin this weekend.
"It's all about staying in the match. In both games to date we have seemed to switch off for five or 10 minutes and that has been hugely costly for us," said Gatland.
"Those 10 minutes last weekend in Wellington when they scored three tries were very costly. The players have been hard on themselves and been pretty honest in identifying where we let ourselves down with mistakes.
"Last Saturday the guys felt pretty good at half-time at 10-10, but about 10 minutes later New Zealand were scoring three tries. So, from a starting point of view, there are some real positives, but we must stop shooting ourselves in the foot.
"We have to make sure we are accurate all game. The attitude in training has been excellent and we've freshened them up for one final assault on the All Blacks after a long season.
"From where we were when we last played New Zealand in 2014, we made the All Blacks make double the number of tackles against us last weekend and our territory and possession were up. What we have to do now is turn those numbers into pressure and points.
"We feel we are stressing them at times, but we have got to make sure we are more accurate and cut out the errors.
"We have played some good rugby in the first two Tests and we want to finish the tour on Saturday with an 80-minute performance that we are happy with."
