It's harder to find, but the Bucs decide to challenge it to see if they can make it be a tied game. Well, if you don't get that challenge correctly and you lose that challenge, you lose your timeout, you lose the ability to advance the basketball. So then you've got to go 3.4 seconds full length of the floor.

And again, when I asked Doc Rivers about that, he said, you know, our bench was pretty confident that Tyrese Halliburton stepped out of bounds when he gathered. So they weren't even... They weren't even worried about, you know, whether or not Giannis fouled. They were of the belief that Halliburton stepped out of bounds on the near side corner on his gather before he let it go.

Turned out that the officials did not agree with that. That is not what they found.

He does not. So they decided that wasn't the case. And then all of a sudden you're in a spot where you got to go the length of the floor. And to their credit, I think they did a pretty nice job. Giannis was able to make his way up most of the floor. But unfortunately, you have a guy that's barely shot any threes this season needing to try a three at the buzzer.

And then I think you have to think through like, OK, well. Whose hands do we want it in? I understand that they were denying the ball out of Damian Lillard's hands the entire night on every single inbounds. That was their game plan. But also, I saw Damian Lillard hit a game winner with the Milwaukee Bucks last season from about 35 feet where he was the inbounder.

threw it to Brook Lopez, and then caught it back from Brook Lopez and went up the floor and shot a deep three. That was not something they tried. They had Giannis inbound and then had Giannis try that. They did that with Giannis, right. Right. And again...
