Since the stat that's most important (W-L) has not been fun to follow this year, I thought that after that historic shooting performance yesterday I'd list some other, less important, statistics that bring a smile to my face after a 16hr work-day. It's your choice to look at these stats with optimism, saying that it's the start of something good, or pessimism, thinking that it won't get better than what just happened last night.

I really had to cherrypick for these; the rest of the stats do NOT project favorably for our players lol. But here are the good ones at least! Have a happy day.
