The one thing I would have liked to see us do differently after CJ made the layup was to use some of our remaining fouls to run time off the clock while they still had the ball in the backcourt. We only had three team fouls, so we had three to give and 3.4 seconds to run off the clock. All's well that ends well, but we could have significantly shortened the amount of time they had to get a decent look at the basket had we used a different strategy.
I disagree ... I thought we were right in NOT fouling. What you'd be doing by fouling in that situation is stopping the clock and giving them the opportunity to advance the ball by making a long inbounds pass up court with no time running off the clock ... as it was, they had to advance the ball with the clock running and had to jack up a prayer from mid-court.
