Mechanically, they had an interesting alignment.

The lead was on the court, out to the side. In this play, I can see the advantage of that setup. There is going to be no drive and no secondary defender cutting it off. Perhaps they felt this would give them a better view of any potential tip since that was all that could happen.

The center was initially at the FT line extended but drifted really far down by the time the ball bounced off the rim. I think that put him out of position to have the best look at the ultimate attempt. Why so low?
