This is ironic since I tease another poster for posting quotes from another site lol. but this guy went back and watched the end of the game. These were the playsThe possessions prior to the final one were:
- Tatum blocked by the rim on a shot he makes > 90% of the time
- wide, wide open Horford pick-and-pop 3
- uncontested FT-line fadeaway for Tatum
- Jaylen gets fouled, misses both FTs
- open Jaylen 3 off the OReb, missed
- open DWhite 3 off another OReb, missed
- Tatum dunk
- open DWhite corner 3, missed
- KP called for loose ball foul on rebound
- Tatum missed transition layup
It was just a missing shot issue more than anything. I’d have liked to use KP more, but it’s not something I worry about, since they’ve consistently used him as part of their go-to late game sets.
The Jaylen FT/offensive rebounds possession is bonkers. 8 potential points, all on good looks, and come away with nothing.
I liked the process late, they just didn't make shots.
