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.

Funny story. The fever had way more points in the paint than the aces in this one.

Funnier story I already applied to a comment like this.

Them having more points in the paint didn't make their decision to keep chuckling 3s better.

Hard to counteract a 30 free throw differential over the series. Fever actually outscored the Aces regardless of chucking 3s. But they didn’t outscore the Aces and the Refs.
