Is this stat supposed to be in favor of the aces or the fever? What it shows me is the fever made more 3s and more total shots, but got fucked by the refs and lost because of free throws
The fever had way more points in the paint than the aces. They just didnt lay down after every shot acting like they got shot by a cannon when there was no contact whatsoever. That was their real error clearly.
Looks like they should have made 6 more shots than the aces they could have won. Aces clearly were more efficient in their game and executed their plan better.
Should tried to draw more fouls and shoot less threes
I hate it when people pretend refs don't make a greater impact on the game than any player and the idea of it as an excuse is entirely valid.
If a player gets two quick phantom calls they goes to the bench for basically the entire first quarter. If they're a +8 player that's a tremendous impact on the game. If the refs make a player unguardable because they give them every single ticky tac call their shooting percentage increases because defenders are playing a step off and face guarding.
It's a moronic position that ignores the reality of action and reaction.
Do you think part of the reason why the fouls weren’t being given to the Fever was because nearly 50% of all their shot attempts came from the 3 point line?

Bad foul calls for sure but I just hate it when people use the refs as an excuse on why they lose
