They set it up perfectly to get the final 24.. then they shoot with 12.8 left.. not smart at all.
I have to disagree here Spreadproof..I've never been a fan of using the entire clock, in an attempt to tie a game..By shooting early enough into the clock, you give yourself the chance for an offensive rebound if you miss, or at worst, the chance to foul and extend the game..IMO, waiting for the last second shot, is a good strategy only if the game is already tie, and you are going for the win..You have nothing to lose then, at worst it goes to OT..If you are down and looking for the tie, better to get the shot off, and give yourself an insurance blanket, in case you miss..I thought it was a good idea to get that shot off when they did..Too bad it didn't work out for the Bulls on the defensive end, as Allen knocked down a sick shot..Would've been huge to go up 2-0, and steal the 1st 2 games of the series on the road..1-1 is good enough, though...Lovin the Bulls swagger right now!
