Their performance was highlighted by an impressive fast break percentage of 56 percent and points in paint totaling 48. However, their defensive rating indicated room for improvement.


In contrast, their victory over the Bucks showcased both offensive efficiency and defensive prowess. Scoring 116 points while limiting their opponents to 111 highlighted their balanced approach. The team excelled in fast break situations again and dominated points in paint with a total of 56.
