Nah, I think LeBron saved Steph from himself.

The scene was already perfection, no need to mess it up. And it was nice for the other guys to get touches in the final stretch (AD-rebound, LeBron-assist, Book-layup).

Oh, absolutely agree. He already had the perfect moment, so taking another shot wouldn't have been worth it. A part of me did want to see it, but I'm glad he didn't get the ball right there.
