The pick and roll defence was terrible late in the game. I dont know what Johmson was doing there with it. It was minor league terrible.

However it was matched in terms of minor league futility with the offensive strategy of one dribble inside the three point line and then force a pass to a teammate for a contested three that was never made. I get the strategy of running the clock down, but you have to make plays and score while doing it. Try moving the ball around like you did for the first 44 minutes and see what happens.
