Teague was open in the corner.

Close!
I really have no clue why american teams never foul when they're up 3 and it's below 10 sec w/o timeout lefts for the opponents.
Cause guys like PG will miss 2 FT's.
Yeah but even if Millsap hit 2 in a row to make it a 1 point game,
a) you can control who getts to the charity stripe for you
b) The other team has something like 6 seconds to dribble it up the court and take some 15% look instead of a 35% look after 3 successful screens to tie it.

These reasons don't make sense
Care to explain why?
The scenario was something like Millsap getts the inbound with 6.9 left. Millsap stepped out to the 3 point line with around 4.5 sec left. That's when you foul in this scenario.
Millsap hits both, ATL is +1. Pacers will try to intercept inbound but have to foul right away if it fails. ATL getts free throws with 4 sec left. Whoever they wanted to get the ball to getts 2 shots and misses both. Clock starts ticking, Pacers get the rebound with 3.5 left and now they have to get the ball up front as far as possible and send a prayer from midcourt most likely. That's a way worse shot than most systems you can run for good looks on an inbound play with 7 secs left.
That's how I'd do it. And I bet I'd be right in 90% of the time with that decision. If you go for defense and give up a better shot you have overtime in at least 25% of the scenarios.
