It hadn't happened the entire night.
That was happening, and the building was starting to energize that team.
You have to take a timeout, and you have to stall that, and he didn't, and you can't take those things.
The last thing you want to do as a coach when you get back to the hotel in New York is reach your pocket, you pull out some loose change, a couple of dollars, and then you have two timeouts in there.
He should have used them to stop the momentum of that run and also to make an adjustment defensively
And offensively, because they completely got stagnant.
They stood around almost like they wanted the clock to run out.
rather than continue to play aggressively.
So you had opportunities to make adjustments on both ends of the floor.
He probably should have taken multiple timeouts, not just one.
Now I've had a chance to sleep on it.
I still woke up and I still can't actually believe they won that game.
Seven and a half minutes, 22 points.
And on a night when they couldn't buy one from the three.
That was the one aspect of the rust component that I did see because I'm always in favor of the rest.
