It may be statistically one of the worst spots on the floor, but when our defense is designed to heavily give up those looks without much opposition, and we're playing guys who are good at that game it's really not too much of an excuse.
Same thing happened with Bud’s defense and I continue to have zero issue with not prioritizing defending that shot. If a team is gonna floater/mid-range us to death then so be it. It’s the transition and over-rotating leading to an open layup crap that’s dumb and needs to stop. Another game where if we just clean up the easy mistakes, we probably win a close one.
