Fox had the game in his hands and gave it away twice.
First mistake: the clock is off, you have the lead, and you're running toward your own basket. Every coach in the league will tell you to pull it out, burn a few more seconds, and make the other team chase you. Instead Fox goes for a quick off-foot layup with OG in pursuit. OG gets his fingers cleanly on the ball, which is exactly why the wrist contact gets ruled incidental. Incredible play.
Second mistake: the foul-to-give situation. Fox didn't have to hack Alvarado right there. Another defender could have committed the foul, and the Knicks would have had almost nothing to work with on that out-of-bounds play with so few seconds left. The timing of the foul matters just as much as the decision to foul.
This is a late-game execution lesson. Clock management, foul-to-give usage, knowing when NOT to be aggressive. Fox is one of the fastest players in the league and it worked against him here. #shorts
