We're both wrong, he let it fly with about 8 secs left. It's fine because because it went in, but it was still an ill advised shot when he took it.
Wait. I just checked the play by play. It was a 26 footer with 4 seconds on the shot clock, like I thought. But good try!

How is that? The PBP shows TBJ getting an OR at 1:32 Lavines shot went in at 1:22. It was in the air for at least 2.5 secs. That would mean he let it go with at least 7.5 left. It doesn't matter anyone who knows anything about the game would tell you that is a bad decision right there. Like I said it worked out because it went in and we won, but that doesn't change the fact that it was a bad shot.
It was of an offensive rebound. 14 second shot clock. I saw it during the game. The time of the shot is when the player releases it. If he shot it with 1 second left it wouldn't show the shot as being made 16 seconds after the rebound. It doesn't work that way.
He was wide open and the chance of making a pass with 4 seconds left from 26vfeet away from the basket, getting a better shot, and having it go in... especially from an inferior shooter, is almost nil.
If he passes it up he would have been called afraid to take the shot.
He hit a huge shot to bail his team out.
