All I’m saying is…

You are up 2 points… if you foul then all they can do is tie it unless they get some 3 point play out of it. I would rather tie and get the ball back with some time than let them drain the clock and take the lead with a 3. Plus with only being in the bonus and not a bonus+ if they miss the first it’s even better.
