REF’s picks

Both teams feature disciplined defensive units that tend to slow the tempo down in critical stretches. The Under offers solid value as possessions become more methodical and physical in the second half.

1. 1Half-court defensive sets limit fast-break opportunities for both sides.
2. 2Shooting percentages can dip as fatigue sets in during the final periods.
3. 3An early run of missed perimeter shots could quickly drain the scoring pace.
