The team was only taking high percentage looks as good ball movement set up open jumpers. Shocker City shot 44 percent from downtown, and 58 percect from the field.
“We just did the same stuff we always do,” Santorelli said. “We were sharing the ball well. They say we don’t pass to each other. They say we have too many players and were selfish, but we must be like number one or two in assists.”
