"It's early in the season and we have a lot of work to do," Ark said. "We made some bad decisions but with good effort we were able to overcome it. It's very tough to come into Rose and win."

Some key free throws in the second half sealed the deal for the Cardinals.

"We made our free throws made smarter players and we were able to execute things," Ark said.
