8 seconds or so left. Tie game. We are inbounding the ball from our own baseline. This is the perfect time for Dent to go full speed down the court and either get to the rim and finish, draw a foul, or create a shot for a teammate. Instead he catches the inbounds and immediately throws it back to Perry. He didn’t want it w the game on the line.
Dent’s aggression and play have improved the last several games. But that moment showed that he hasn’t completely overcome those passive tendencies that he’s struggled with for much of the year.
