The Lopes' home advantage played a crucial role in this matchup, as they have generally performed well at the Global Credit Union Arena.

Overall, this matchup served as a testament to the Lopes' capability to bounce back and assert dominance at home, while the Rebels will need to reassess their defensive strategies moving forward.
