re: What happens first a Warriors loss or a Sixers win?

Well the idea is presumably to deny steph and play for a missed free throw. If you let them get it to steph again, you have failed. If they make both free throws regardless of who it is, you've failed.

On the fly, though, Curry would almost for sure get the ball. He's so quick that it's hard to keep it out of his hands.

Hard to execute all that when you haven't been able to talk to your team since 1:23 left in the game.

Thompson is also very good from the line. You have to figure they're going to make two. And then you basically can't win, because they'll foul you.

You go for the three. Because either you'll get a shot for the tie, or they'll foul you to prevent the 3-point attempt, and then you'll have a chance to get within 1 with about 6 or 7 seconds left anyway (same as if you drove to the goal to get a quick 2).
