They take their time and bring a lot of energy to the court.

Their team is stacked with size, athleticism and talent but their best trait is how unselfish they are. There was no one playing one-on-one as they consistently moved the ball until they got a quality shot. A lot of talent on this team that played for each other and only pushed each other up.
