Wide open corner 3 from a 39% 3 pt shooter you live with

Not sure why Chris Finch left D'Angelo Russell and McDaniels on the bench for so long late in the fourth, but I think that was the difference.
Dlo was terrible defensively for a big stretch there. Lala land on the Abaji alley oop, then went under the NAW 3 (wolves were going over on every other NAW PnR), then got blown by Sexton with 0 resistance (he also air balled a 3 in this stretch), also on the Jazz go ahead bucket with 2 ish minutes left Dlo did his pointing thing on defense and Ant was late to the Beasley 3 because of it (Beasley missed but we were not in possession to rebound).
Dlo was fantastic in the 1st half but I understand why finch waited to put Dlo back in because his effort was really bad on D in the second half.

Oh, wow. Not at all what I was watching, but go off. Anthony Edwards fell asleep a number of times defensively late, including the play that allowed an open corner three for Malik Beasley [that he missed] and you're blaming someone else for it? What are we doing here? Miscues happen, but I didn't see a lack of effort tonight.
Minnesota's offense stagnated down the stretch with a unit too reliant on Ant for scoring and not enough size to pressure defensively. Utah rolled them in pick-and-roll game. What kills me is that if you're going to sub out for defense then get Jaden McDaniels back on the floor. Finch didn't.
McDaniels subbed out with 10:11 and didn't re-enter until 1:26 left. I get that he had five fouls, but uhh, maybe get him back in sooner?
And then with D'Angelo Russell it's just a matter of getting too cute with your lineups. Subbed out at 7:21 when he didn't need to. It cost them, I think.

OMG...how many times (4) did DLO stop ball in transition and close out on the 3 point shooter? I know you're not serious, but some people may think you are resulting in a county wellness check ("I worry he's huffed so much primer red that he won't remember to eat")
