Giannis had 6 points on 7 shots in the fourth quarter, and Jrue had 1 point on 5 shots. That's poor efficiency on half of our shots. The others had 21 points on 11 shots. Lopez went 4/5 and had 10 points. Nobody else that played got more than 2 shots. And in this one, that basically tracks for the entire game. Who exactly had the opportunity for a great quarter?
Since Bobby did not play at all it has to be Jrue.
Jrue missed all 5 of his shots in the 4th. He makes 3 of those and we probably hold out to win the game just like in the last one despite Holford not missing any shots or Tatum and Smart making tough contested lay ups.
It's a miracle Giannis scored 6 more points in the 4th considering he could barely walk up the court at times.
Jrue obviously gets blame but you can't just let Giannis off the hook because he had a great 3rd quarter. He scored 6 points on 7 shots. Whatever the reason, if he's not able to be efficient offensively he needs to be moving the ball as well or learn to pace himself better. Again, their teammates scored 21 points on 11 shots. At least offensively, they don't get any blame for the fourth quarter unless it's for not moving off the ball well enough. We had a 7 point lead, all we had to do was play even or even a little worse than even.
