No, not legit costly mistakes. Several have made the same comments.
I and others have addressed these several times. The inbounds pass went to the side. Lawal wouldn't have made any difference and we saved him for long passes to the front court. Young did not want tight on-ball defense because you would risk fouling him. He had been drawing fouls on us all night.
We forced Miller to take a running half-court shot from the side and without risking fouling him. That is a very LOW % shot. People are talking like we gave him an open look at the 3-pt. line. He made the shot. And we missed ours at the FT line. It's that simple.
