OKC blowing multiple leads was their undoing. Bright future but the inexperience would hurt them.
Thats how most basketball games go. Huge runs. They always responded to those runs. Didn't see the inexperience.

Prevent a time out to advance to mid court, which allows for a play.

Dallas absolutely deserves this. Much respect to OKC though. The core of SGA, Chet, and Jay Williams is very talented. Look forward to seeing what they can do as they get better.

Lowkey, Minnesota and Dallas would be fun too. Ant vs. Luka/Kyrie would be entertaining as hell

What? They would’ve only been up 2

OKC was out of timeouts and with only 2 seconds on the clock, a miss puts them in a mad scramble only able to do a 3/4 court heave. If he made it, at least they can inbound and get someone down on the other end.

Have you never seen Christian Laettner’s shot lol

It's always amazing to me the lack of situational awareness there is in sports, even among professional coaches

With 2.5 seconds left, you miss it and you're up 1... they have roughly 2 seconds to get the ball up the court and hit a 3 to win because clock starts as soon as they touch it on the rebound. If you make it you're up 2...they're still gonna shoot a long 3 and if they hit it they win so nothing has changed. You make the third shot, and they can let the ball bounce, set up, and run a set play. Still hard to do, but a lot easier than having to get the rebound with clock starting instantly and manage to get a decent shot.
