because, from halftime until the spurs got the bonus with 7:14 left in the 4th, they were 2-13 on 3's, only scored 21 points and watched their 27-point lead drop to 12 so maybe they should've tried attacking the paint with the 3 fast guards and 7'5" cheat code for free throws
Looking back now and not sure why people are mad at the Spurs for taking lots of threes in the second half after they went 14-of-26 in the first half.
If the Spurs had taken and missed a bunch of twos in the second half, people would have been mad at them for changing their offensive style. "Stick with what was working in the first half!" And they were 5-of-24 from two in the second half, anyway.
Spurs made whatever they took in the first half and missed whatever they took in the second half. Every philosophy's going to work when everything's going in and no philosophy's going to work when everything's clanging off the iron.
