Mind you, who'd have expected our generation's Sam Bowie to actually hit that? Dude has more luck than brains, talent, and looks combined.

His best scoring attribute is shooting from extreme range, so yeah.
Best tank loss since Lauri’s buzzer beater game winner that was 0.1 seconds too late.

This is the only game I wanted for them to win from last three, as Hawks had their best guys, Lauri had a great first half and Sexton warmed up to the end a bit with especially Kessler. IMO these three guys should be in contending top 6 rotation of Jazz, and winning this kinda tight nailbiters would boost their growth. But it's all good for the tank. Doesn't mean it doesn't suck to lose like that. Sadge.
Drew Eubanks gets the tank ball. In limited minutes he did the best he could. Moving screens all over, horrible passes. We see you Drew!
I legit can’t believe that entire sequence. Extremely clutch shot by Sexton then lets Trae get set for a half court buzzer beater game winner all net. Just ****ing wild!
I was thinking of the LA game where Hardy timeout Sextons game winner

Game balls for Hardy and Eubanks both. They willed a way to lose. Key needs to come back. We can't have old man Mills mucking up the tank.

According to basketball-ref, he's 8% on shots from beyond half way line for his career.
He's also a significantly worse career 3P shooter than Bryon Russell. Then again, not the first scrub to light us up, either.

I understand the benefits for the tank, but celebrating a nailbiter loss loudly like tanking fandoms do is still kinda awkward. I'd get a neutral "good for tank, I guess" kinda articulations. I guess I'll never learn to appreciate American pro league cultures.
