Dribble away from the basket.

Ouch, Spurs fold again with 10 points in final 9 minutes*

I did not watch the game live. I watched the ending this morning after reading some of the post game commentary. So I knew what was coming.

I think that shot is more defensible than people are giving it credit for being. Sure, the result was terrible for the Spurs. But the Spurs' player is thinking in the moment that he is either going to lay it up easily and thereby just about guarantee a Spurs win with a 4 point lead and almost no time left on the clock or at the very least, get fouled and go to the line. Should he have perhaps gone up for a dunk to ensure either a basket and/or foul? Sure. But that is convenient hindsight.

I agree. Arguably if he hits a layup it’s better than going to FT line

It was an amazing block.

. . . he almost certainly would have been immediately fouled. The defender was obviously right on his hip. So I don't think that move would have taken a lot of time off of the clock.

I'll be here all week! Don't forget to tip the waitresses...

The Spurs were up 1. A basket makes it a 3 point lead. He could have salted the clock. *

Ok. Doesn't really change my analysis here.

He doesn't go up for the shot he likely gets immediately fouled. Goes to line. NY still likely has a chance to either win or tie on a last second shot.

He could have dribbled away from the basket. More time would have come off the clock.*
