I've been reading others' thoughts of the game and it got me thinking:
(1) It's hard to come down on Cline for missing that FT. Not only for the cliche reason that they couldn't have gotten here without him but also because he's a 71% FT shooter, which gave him almost precisely a 50% chance of making both.
(2) The final offensive series was unexpected. Why not go up the center of the court? Hindsight is hardly the best way to judge sports, so mostly I'm curious of Painter's thinking. He drew it up that way for a reason. Probably a good reason and Bennett just got him. I just want to be inside their heads about that.
