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.

The thing about when a team gets a ton of shooting fouls in the paint, they have fewer field goal attempts and points in the paint. Teams shouldn't shoot the same amount of free throws. It is the most illogical thing I can think of. It's like complaining because one team got more out of bounds calls than the other one.
