Looked like a bad call but motley shouldn't have put himself in that position. I would have rather him shoot the 3.

Not smart Mot, not smart. Hopefully Scott stays small and man as that has fueled the intensity of this team here in the second half.

He was out of control and ran directly into the guys chest. Motley has to be smarter then that.
