What happened
Marine Johannes pulled up from 24 feet and missed a three-point jumper with 9:19 remaining in the fourth quarter, per an in-game update from ESPN. The miss left the score at 53-72. It continues a pattern of cold long-range shooting for Johannes in this contest.
Why it matters
A 19-point deficit inside the final frame puts the trailing side in catch-up mode, forcing more low-percentage perimeter looks. Johannes has now misfired on multiple deep attempts tonight, including an earlier 27-foot pullup that pushed the deficit to seven. Compounding misses from distance shrink the comeback window with each empty possession.
What to watch
Watch whether Johannes is pulled for a defensive substitution or shifts to drive-and-kick looks to manufacture higher-percentage attempts. The next two minutes likely decide whether this becomes a garbage-time fourth.
