The coach likes math. Math tells you that even if he misses this shot, the Celtics still get a few seconds’ worth of another possession to win the game at the end. Unless it’s a *horrible* shot, going for a 2–for-1 makes sense regardless of what quarter it is.
You’re not mad because of the shot selection. You’re mad because three things in a row didn’t go our way: 1) Jaylen missing, 2) Miles Bridges hitting, and 3) Tatum missing that 3rd FT (the latter possession was only possible because of the quick shot by Jaylen). It’s ok, it’s a long regular season and you’re supposed to lose a few like this.
