Anthony Edwards had a great game, but I just don’t understand why he finds this kind of clank acceptable up only eighteen in the third quarter, especially given Minnesota’s numerous disappointing late-game collapses over the past two seasons. Just super bizarre, and it’s pretty much on Finch for not reigning it in throughout the season.

I get where you are coming from. But what we don’t see is how often it goes in during practice or shoot around. If you are Finch and Ant tells you he is trying to widen his game to include a bank shot 3 (for when his normal 3 is not falling,) do you really tell him no?

What do you expect Finch to say? "How dare you have a little fun when the team is up 18 with 40 seconds left in the quarter!"
You're making something out of nothing.

Yes, I expect Coach Finch to say, "Come on dude, take the game seriously when it isn't functionally over."

The quarter is functionally over.
Again, you're making something out of nothing.

There is a whole quarter left of play and Minnesota is up by less than twenty. I don't think it is that hard to be serious, rather than throwing up a gimmicky shot for style-points. Just seems like a weird choice.

Just seems like a weird choice, the game was far from out of reach. The San Antonio Spurs got it down to six, late in the fourth quarter.

What was gimmicky about the shot?
Due to my crappy internet I had a hard time seeing anything gimmicky. Bank shots are scientifically proven to have a better chance of being made than straight on shots. So definitely no gimmick there.
After simulating one million shots with a computer, the NC State researchers show that the bank shot can be 20 percent more effective when shooting at many angles up to a distance of about 12 feet from the basket. Bank shots are also more effective from the "wing" areas between the three-point line and the free-throw lane. However, straight-on shots – those corresponding to the area around the free-throw line – from further than 12 feet are not as well suited for bank shots.
