This win was characterized by a solid defensive effort that saw them block seven shots and steal the ball three times. Offensively, they demonstrated efficiency from beyond the arc, converting 46 percent of their three-point attempts into points.


Another significant aspect of their recent success has been their ability to distribute the ball effectively, as evidenced by their 15 assists in that game.
