The triple of Kevin Punter that left Barça without Final Four

Barça has had it in the hands but has failed to grab the pass to the Final Four of Abu Dhabi. After a match with a fortnight of changes in the leadership, the Barca team has arranged for a last eight-second attack to change the marker’s sign (85-84) and the one of the quarter-final series against As Monaco. The ball has gone to the theoretician ‘Clutch Player’ of the team, Kevin Púnter, who has chosen to play a triple distant who has not found its goal.

The American escort has put many shots of this type throughout his career but surely this time it was not the best option. The Barça was enough for a basket of two to win the game and was also in Bonus, so a foul had translated into a free throw throws. After a Bronco party, with many contacts and many fouls, an entry seemed the most logical option. But Pinter played the triple distant, also well dotted, and there the dream of Barça vanished.
