I don't know if that solution is best for the NBA going forward.

Altering the rules of the game to coddle the few who can't hack it at a basic principle of the game isn't a good solution, either.

despite the result, I'm glad the Pelicans did not foul Curry at the end of game 3. Was it the best strategy? Of course not, but it is a perfect example of when the most advantageous decision is also a decision that takes away from the integrity of the game.

How would the integrity of the game have been impugned, exactly? If anything, NOT fouling and employing the best strategy by so doing damaged the integrity of the Pels' understanding of the game.

Being down by 3 with the ball and 10 seconds left should not be an automatic loss if the team fouls you, regardless of whether or not it is a legal decision.

I vehemently disagree.
