Cunningham wasn’t hurt. Coach Anthony Grant stuck with a group that included Obi Toppin, who scored a career-high 26 points and played a career-high 34 minutes.

“I felt like the group we had on the floor had the energy and effort we needed today in the second half,” Grant said. “We’ve talked about this all year. This is a team for us that on different nights different guys are going to step up and have opportunities. They support each other. They understand that’s a part of the game. Every night’s not going to be your night, and when other guys are doing it, you’ve got to understand and support them and be there for them. … We’re playing a lot of different styles, a lot of different matchups. On some nights, it’s just different guys. That’s what it was tonight.”
