Blocked Shots: 7 (Smith 3, Vucevic 2, Buzelis, Williams). Turnovers: 14 (C.White 4, Ball 3, Vucevic 2, Williams 2, Dosunmu, Giddey, Smith). Steals: 2 (Dosunmu, Giddey). Technical Fouls: None. Percentages: FG .471, FT .815. 3-Point Goals: 18-44, .409 (Porzingis 8-14, D.White 4-10, Pritchard 2-3, Tatum 2-6, Springer 1-2, Brown 1-5, Holiday 0-4).
