Earlier, when Kobe forcefully attempted a three-pointer, if it had gone in, the point gap could have been reduced from 7 to 4. This would have significantly offset the disadvantage caused by Garnett missing an open mid-range shot, leading to a score converted by the opponent during the offensive and defensive switch, and it wouldn't have resulted in Zhang Yang's counter attack and trailing three-pointer... Expecting Kobe to make such a shot is a coach's duty; it just wasn't successful this time.
