While Team Why Not controlled the glass (out-rebounding United 39 to 29), Team United completely won the turnover battle. United only turned the ball over 6 times compared to Why Not’s 16 turnovers, translating directly into extra possessions and transition buckets.

Combined with Team United shooting a blazing 87.5% from the free-throw line (14-16 FT), they managed to pull away in the second half and keep the dangerous Why Not offense at bay.
