His contributions helped fuel High Point's impressive shooting percentages, which eclipsed 60% from the field and 45% from beyond the arc.
The Panthers' defense also played a key role in their victory, holding Bryant to just 18 field goals on 44 attempts (41%). The visitors struggled with free throws, making just 8 of 13 attempts. High Point's own free throw woes were minimal, as they converted 22 of 32 opportunities at the line.
