I think they showed a stat the other day that the 5 players with the best offensive ratings in the 4th quarter in the league were:

Jaylen
Kemba
Hayward
Theis
Tatum

That looks like a bunch of closers to me.

Smart closes on the defensive end. He also has been hitting big threes when we are down.

When Smart made that out of bounds play at the end where he BARELY saved the ball THAT turned into yet another one of his Signature Plays...Impact plays.

On the ensuing jump ball Tatum steals the pass and goes in for the contest jam. We now have a 102-97 lead and the the cushion to breathe.

And apparently Smart told Tatum to break for the ball in the huddle before the tip.
