The game, marked by Indiana's impressive shooting performance, saw the team shooting 53.6 percent from the field, including a notable 73.1 percent in the second half alone. Key players for Indiana included Mackenzie Mgbako, who achieved a new career-high with 24 points, 18 of which were scored in the pivotal second half, Scalia with 14 points, and Garzon with 12 points.
