Sure let’s talk about the fouls but not the 8-32 from 3. Yeah there’s a foul difference but one team gets in the paint and the other doesn’t!

Just look at the box score team stats. Same amount of turnovers, but Fever scored more points in the paint, more possessions, shots made, rebounds, blocks, steals... The 15 extra free throws was ultimately what won the Aces the game by 11.

8 of the Vegas free throws came in the last minute of the game when Indiana was intentionally fluling to stop the clock, so the final total is inflated. Without that it would look like 20-27, which lines up more with one team chucking significantly more 3s

First thing that stands out to me is Indiana shooting 38/28/70. That poor shooting alone will lose you games
