HOUSTON — Nobody could have predicted that the intentionally missed free throw would be all the rage in the final days of 2022.
In two of the three games to end the calendar year, Luka Donu010diu0107 had to utilize the intentional miss – once to try to win the game and once to try to keep the other team from getting a chance to tie or win.
“I don’t think he’s practiced those,” Kidd said pregame.
Could have fooled us.
The missed free throw has been around forever. But it just doesn’t work very often.
