I don't feel that way. In basketball, towards the end of a game..many plays happen on improvisation where you don't have time to think about that stuff. No matter what you are just trying to score.
But either way there are way too many variables to study this. And I am guessing in this study the notion of ceteris paribus applies.

Yeah, I'm not sure how much it affects players. It affects fans, but my bet is that athletes in the heat of the moment don't really have time to think about that sorta stuff.
