GHayward made 2 threes, and then missed a 3rd in the last game.

Was the 3rd a good shot? Please explain your answer in 30 words or less. Good luck.
 
I'm a little confused but then I haven't finished the title yet got stuck on IQ, tried looking it up on google but couldn't figure out how to spell IQ.
 
What were the circumstances? Did we need a 3? Was the shot clock winding down? Was anyone else in a better position to score?

I'd give Alec Burks the green light to shoot 3s in rhythm given the way he was shooting that night.
 
Using the GHaythagrian Theorem of Basketball Shot Analysis x=y(r/d)·1/3πr^3 . x being the quality of the shot and y being the potential for the shot to go in.

I found that - "With a GHay value of 1.22352. The answer to your question is: Yes, since Gordon's sack finally dropped and he decided to be aggressive on Saturday and actually take some shots, it was a good shot. He should definitely look to score more."
