So I was darn close. They would have needed to shoot a bit over 39% and that would have only gotten them even, so they would have also needed to make one of the several FTs which they missed. Overall, not a bad prediction.

Although your math works out coincidentally, no team shooting 18.8% from the floor deserves to win, much less on that stage.
