Despite falling short by 10 points against the Warriors at home, their performance highlighted significant strengths including fast break points and second chance opportunities which they will be keen to leverage in their upcoming match.


Their efficiency on both ends of the court has been notable with an impressive true shooting percentage and effective field goal percentage in recent outings. Additionally, their ability to draw fouls and convert free throws at a high rate adds another layer of threat for opponents.
