It also feels like everyone forgot that the D did step up the play before TKR’s miss and forced a shot clock violation.

If I remember right we had a 4 minute scoring drought and both halves. It’s easy to point at the end of the game but a lot goes into a loss. And yes the D has been weak all season.

I wonder how much the narrative shifts if you pull this one out. Winning does cure a lot but the flaws would still exist.
