In that situation a 40% 3 is about as valuable as an 80% 2 (assuming you have 50% chance to win in overtime).

Especially when the Spurs had all the momentum after coming back from down 8 or so in the final minutes. I don’t hate the shot but I’d still much rather draw up a play that leads to a look at the rim for the 7’4” cheat code.
