Yeah you're right. The fact that it was tied also made a difference in play.Celtics are a 3 point shooting team.
They place two in the corners and watch what you do.
--Brown is the rim attacker on the play but the Raptor player fouled him(damn refs)
his job is to attack or pass to the corners for 3s.
--Tatum was just playing the point( until the foul).
Tatum missed the regulation three; so it was Brown's turn to go for the win.
but like you said it still worked when you have 2 alphas!!
If they were down it would've put more pressure on them to score. With it being tied, they were satisfied to get whatever shot that was taken.
