Down three in the closing seconds against the Toronto Raptors, Sacramento Kings coach Luke Walton drew up a play that resulted in Nemanja Bjelica shooting a long, contested, off-the-dribble three. He missed badly. Buddy Hield, the NBA’s reigning 3-point shootout champion, sat on the bench.
In the immediate aftermath of the loss, video went around the web where a fan can clearly be heard calling out Walton’s decision.
When asked about the decision after the game, Walton essentially laughed it off and said he stuck with guys who were playing well.
Should Buddy Hield have been in the game?
