No they don’t...I don’t need an extra reason to concentrate in last 4 minutes..Offenses dictate tempo if they are allowed to. If I’m more talented teami will shove ball down your throat. Offensively..and then pressure you relentlessly. If you are on offense and can dictate tempo that means my defense isn’t good enough. I don’t see well but I can count to 5 (or 8) or 10 (or 12)
