Interesting that both teams had identical 24-56 FG shooting last night. Big differences in rebounding and turnovers lead to that result. Slightly better FT shooting in the 2nd half but that remains a weakness for this team

FT shooting has lost us at least one game, nearly lost this one, and might lose more.

Teams will definitely foul our guys to whittle away at any late game deficit. No lead is too large to lose
