The Trappers committed 29 turnovers compared to 13 from the Raiders. “The basketball really moved offensively with great passing and then knocking down open looks. We shot a better percentage from beyond the arc than we did from 2’s which was great. It just opened up the inside more and forced them to play a conventional defense rather than a junk. Defensively we did a great job on the glass only allowing 1 offensive rebound tonight where this has been a struggle for us the past 2 games. Great team effort and now onto the next one as the games will come quick.”
