That is the sort of sequence that sticks to a staff all summer, because the league never forgets a high-stakes gamble that goes sideways. In the Final, one coaching decision can change the temperature on both benches in a hurry. The ripple effect matters here, because the scoreboard is only part of the story once the officials and the video room get involved.
