Lack of late-game execution costs Spurs as they miss opportunities to beat the Knicks

When you give a lot of responsibility to someone who isn’t ready, the results aren’t always pretty, and when Jeremy Sochan held onto the ball for 5 seconds on an inbound play with the Spur down by two, he failed. His teammates could have done more to help him, but he still had a timeout, and the referee standing next to him was counting down the time left. He had to use the timeout, but he didn’t. They always say that you learn more from failure than from success. I do think that Jeremy is the kind of person to take that to heart, as the whole team will, and the next time that they’re in this kind of end of game situation, you’ll see better execution and decision-making.
