Up two points with 14 seconds left, all Bargnani had to do was dribble out the clock. Instead, he bricked a three-pointer, giving Milwaukee one more chance to tie the game:

Woodson said he's not sure what Bargnani was thinking when he took the shot w 11 seconds left after Chandler's rebound.

Anthony says he doesn't want to think abt what would have happened had NYK lost tonight
