I think that is the smartest move. Ant can take a last second shot way easier then KAT and get a good look. You don't want to leave time, so if an action is run for KAT it probably leaves time for Indy to win or tie.
Jesus. You have Karl-Anthony Towns and a hot Malik Beasley and your best play for a game-winning bucket is to let your 19-year old rookie go one-on-one? That's awful.

Pete said he is 2nd in the NBA in isolation PPP. You need to run the clock out. You don't seem to understand that part.
Towns has improved his defense a lot so far this season. I'd say that he's been a pretty good defender this season overall. But he plays small. He doesn't defend vertically. Too often he crouches or fails to extend his arms vertically.
You either play to win the game, or you play to not lose the game. Minnesota did the latter and here they are about to lose in overtime. Another winnable game down the toilet.
