I've often said that the most important stat in basketball is two point field goal percentage on offense and defense. You can discuss the other stats all you want but the bottom line in this game is that they attempted the same number of two point field goals, (35) and one more three point field goal, (14-15) and one more free throw (20-21) than we did. We out-shot them from the arc, (21.4%-20.0%) and the line (80.0%-66.7%), getting the same number of treys and two more makes at the line. They won the game because they made 60% of their two point field goals and we made 43% of ours.
