I really think it was a high percentage shot, honestly. I'm surprised it didn't go in. Johnson not only was extremely close in with a clear shot at the second he took it after losing the defender (and a history during the same game of making harder driving shots than that one where he had been much more off balance) but there was an opportunity to draw a foul in this case and he had Odom and Bright follow him, who both got their hands on it before the buzzer, and all three missed. Had nothing to do with percentages. I believe this was an excellent play and we just plain missed lay ins. THREE. I cannot blame that on the coach in this particular play, not that I am someone who never sees fault in Stallings but that particular final play was in my opinion an excellent play. What a drag all three shots from point blank failed. (Could we have had anyone better under there for the tip-in than Odom and Bright such as maybe Siakkam and Jeter? I do not know. It may have wound up the same.)

Watch the play again, slow it down if you have that option on your VCR. It's just plain old bad luck, not a bad play in this particular case.  I'm not saying everything done was perfect that night, but that final play call was not the problem. Perhaps there were other options but Johnson had done well on driving tonight and had a hot hand in the second half other than the foolishly extra long range 3 pointer he tried.
