Go to the basket and draw contact rather than settling for chucking. If you’re tired, the legs are the first to go and that kills your shot. It was 52-50 forever and all they wanted to do was keep hoisting 3’s. Newsflash - the pullups from 12 feet have better chances. But instead, it’s constant kickouts and contested chucks. Blew an opportunity there and wasted a great defensive effort.
