You’re watching a Philadelphia 76ers game and Joel Embiid takes a wide open three-pointer with more than 14 seconds left on the shot clock, and bricks it. The other team rebounds the ball and quickly scores on the Sixers with an easy layup.
On the Sixers’ next possession, Landry Shamet takes a wide open three-point shot with more than 10 seconds left on the shot clock, and misses it. The other team rebounds the ball and are fouled while taking a shot on the fast break.
Five minutes later, the 15-point lead the Sixers had before Embiid took the aforementioned three-point shot is now a four-point lead and the Sixers are in another one of their trademark close games.
