With 15 seconds left in a tie game you work the ball around killing time but hoping the ball movement opens up a lane for the drive to the basket. The defender either lets you go and you score with a layup and win or he has to foul you and you win at the line. To just stand there for 15 seconds and throw up a long range bomb is stupid when you have a guy like Pierce who can drive the lane against the best of them.
Just a huge disappointment as any kind of rational move would have won that game and then its 2-2. Oh well , all we can hope for is another good game to watch.
