In that game, they dominated with an impressive score of 127 points and a notable efficiency game score of 113.3.
The team's offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an exceptional 60 percent from beyond the arc and maintained a field goal percentage of about 56 percent. Their defensive efforts were equally commendable, holding their opponents to just over one point per possession while scoring approximately 1.27 points themselves in each offensive play.
