However, it's not just about scoring; MIL has shown that they can be equally effective without possession. They turned over Phoenix Suns' mistakes into 24 points off turnovers and had an assists turnover ratio of an outstanding 3.5 – signs of sharp execution and disciplined play.


WAS should not be underestimated though; despite being hosts for this upcoming encounter, they will challenge MIL every step of the way. It will be crucial for MIL to contain WAS's fast-paced offense and ensure that their own scoring remains as efficient as it has been in recent outings.
