I understand why teams run down the clock at the end of a quarter/game.  I think often they let the clock go too far down and then panic when an easy shot doesn't materialize.  They run out of options, fling up a shot, and put their chances on a ref bailing them out with a foul call.

You are correct. I see that all the time.
