Anyone have any insight on those last two possessions? Like? Dislike? What to do different?

I was surprised we didn't just try to tie with a 3 with one minute. But the plan worked well to take a two and play defense. However we were still needing a three to tie in the end. But with only 9 seconds.

The last possession..... Harris was shooting well. I figured they would focus on Hubbard. But Hubbard bringing the ball up, never allowed us to use him a decoy. So that was a bit perplexing. I can't remember if we had a timeout there or not. Oh well....

We did have a time out. Kind of wish we had used it. Hard for me to argue with Harris taking that shot. Like you said, he was shooting well. He just really didn't get the best look. Maybe we could have set up something with a time out, but there wasn't really much time for that either.

The quick two was the right call. On that last possession, you've got to call a timeout and draw up a play there.

What to do different is not give every player on the floor the green light to Jack up threes all game while your opponent grinds it in the lane. I wanna friken scream every single time we are 5 seconds into a possession and someone launches a contested prayer from 2 feet behind the arc.
