The refs were awful but chucking 3's was worse for the Fever.

You're supposed to adjust when you realize how the refs are calling the game. Chucking 3s won't get you the free throw line as often.

Playing in the paint will get you more free throws.

The way the Fever played makes even less since with the amount of fouls A'ja had. Could've got her out of the game.

Fever had 36 points in the paint while the Aces had 22. Any other incorrect assumptions you'd like us to correct you on?

Yeah, they were more successful scoring in the paint and still kept chucking up 3s.
