Matković's four defensive stats complemented his efficient scoring, while Missi added five points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and three blocks in 21 minutes. Kevon Looney chipped in four points, 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block across 24 minutes, reaching double-digit boards for the second consecutive game. None of the trio are significant streaming options, though Missi has been the most productive this season when afforded extended minutes.
