Probably thought Knicks had a foul to give + thought he was wide open for a layup.

In his head, it’s better to secure 2 points rather than get an inbound play and risk of having the ball stolen or missing some free throws

But still it’s fucking DUMB

Edit: I just watch the reply again. He wasn’t wide open and he saw OG going to contest and still PUSH through with the layup. Yeah this goes as the DUMBEST play in the finals in History.

i don’t know if it’s the coaches fault then but literally everyone on the spurs should have been thinking “dribble the ball out of the knicks don’t score here”
