[JJJ]

One thing that had my eyes bugging out of my head at the time was with I think 3 minutes to go in regulation, maybe a bit less, when we were I think up 2 (I should check but I am lazy, and no matter, the game was tied or very close), we had a possession where Kiana dribbled out the shot clock deliberately, like we were killing clock when ahead.  I'm sure it must have been done because coaches said to, but why would that be the call there?  Can't run out the clock up 2, how does wasting most of a shot clock help?  We needed a score or two, not hold and hope for an end of clock play to work (they usually don't).  Just seemed really odd to me, like we hamstrung ourselves for no good reason.  Am I misremembering the score?  I can't bring myself to go look.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing at this point. I also had questions about the end of regulation although playing for the win/OT there made sense, the play calling (I assume that’s what was called) looked forced.
