"When you look at field goal percentage and see you aren't shooting well, you have to look at other things. Points off turnovers, free throws, offensive rebounds — we had 15 offensive rebounds tonight against one of the best rebounding teams in the league. We played hard tonight, and that's the category that worked. That's the category that mattered tonight." Coach Travis Ford said.
