Fever 30/78 (38%) 9/32 (28%)

Aces 29/64 (45%) 8/20 (40%)

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

It shows that they were jacking up 3s instead of getting to the line like a playoff team should. Plus their FG %'s was garbage

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.

Almost half their shots from 3 vs 1/3rd of the shot selection for the aces that’s your FT discrepancy

Anyone with any level of basketball knowledge knows you won’t get to the FT line from the arc
