The Comets shot very well from the free throw line, converting at a 83% clip from the line. The Comets jumped out to a 17-8 first quarter lead, but the rest of the game was tightly contested. As the clock ticked closer to the end, the Comets were nails from the Free Throw line, ensuring the victory.
