Yep you guessed it, they lost in OT as Crawford continued shooting before Nate robinson decided to take a few higher percentage shots by penetrating. Yeah Zeke trusts Crawford to take that shot, but if you are off, find somebody else....or a decoy. |
Recall, it was the JUMPER from Outlaw that sent the game into overtime, as the Knicks cut off Roy's driving lane (as most defenses will do to guys not named Kobe, Lebron or DWade) and he had to kick it to Outlaw- who's been pretty clutch for those guys this season. Reality of the matter is that to win a close ball game a player has to be able to hit a clutch jumper or 2 or 3 down the stretch to win close ball game, even a contested J - with a hand in the face.
