More generally, my criticism of our end-of-period play revolves around holding the ball in the backcourt for until about 10-12 seconds are left, then trying to run a play; it almost never turned out well.

Agreed. I was actually glad we were aggressive and tried to score right away off the inbound with 9 seconds left instead of trying to burn a few seconds before starting the play. The latter approach would likely have resulted in a worse shot and a 61-60 loss.
