It's the kind of situation where you'd rather see him simply pull up from the logo where he could technically make 1 of 4 shots, instead of just throwing the ball away.
He felt alone this time with the "deny" pressure defense by OKC. Haliburton should be the one with the ball in those minutes. McConnell can get back in but both Nembhard and Haliburton played big in clutch all playoff long. Coac Carlisle's decision to play that duo is highly reasonable.
Haliburton was straight up trash this entire game, I wouldn't bring him back unless the game was getting out of reach and they needed to try something else
Just plain stupid coaching that I find it hard to believe RC would do
Not to mention repeating same mistake in not involving Siakam down the stretch
These dumb TOs could have been avoided if they passed to him more in low post to operate the offense
