Kaufusi still got 12 rebounds in game 2 and only 2 fouls in 28 minutes, which is very encouraging. Who knows what they're trying to work on from game to game. Maybe knowing Aytes wasn't going to play led to playing differently in the second game.
Game 1's numbers from the bigs:
Davis: 12 points -- 6/11, 8 rebounds
Austin: 9 points -- 3/4, 13 rebounds
Aytes: 15 points -- 4/7 from field, 7/9 from line, 6 rebounds
Kaufusi: 3 points, 9 rebounds

I did not read the first game stats, and have since learned Aytes was held out as a precaution because they don't want him playing in back to back games.
If Davis and Aytes can be consistent, then point production will be improved.
