There may be several reasons.

You played a base offense, while you were dominating the outside more than the inside. So your coach will intruct your guards to take more shots.

Your offensive flow seems to be very low, which means your guards lack passing and/or handling. They can't deliver the ball at the inside.

Your PG was on fire, why shouldn't he take shots, awesome numbers!

If you play a Look Inside, or a Low Post, your team will focus more at the inside, thus your outside players shouldn't take that many shots. In a base offense this should be around 50-50 if the outside is equal to the inside, in your team however your outside shooters were slightly better.

thanks for the explanation but my sg also has respectable jump shot and respectable jump range plus he has pretty good inside skill too, so why did he miss all the shots? i am not complaining about my pg but about my sf. he is an all around mediocre player with respectable inside shot, however, my sg is an all around respectable player and so is my pf so why didn't them take more shots than my sf? it seems weired how my pg and sf took over 30 shots while the rest of the team took not even 30% of the total number of shots.

Why not try mixing up where you play them? I had a similar problem with my SG where he wasn't taking shots at the start of last season...he had similar ball skills and better shooting than my PGs so I switched to playing him PG and his numbers improved. I almost think he preferred starting with the ball in his hands!

Just guessing, but maybe your SF has a high driving skill? That might lead him to take more shots.
I also see that his opposing SF got a very low mark. Maybe he played a bad defense and left many inviting open shots to your player.
Additionally, your SF played the entire game, so he was probably tired in the late minutes, depending also on his stamina. You could check to see what was his shooting % at the start of the game. 10-29 might not be a bad %, if he missed 10 straight shots in the final quarter. :)

The oppnent PG and SF is bad
even if all 3 of ur outside skills are the same,
ur PG and SF wiill take the shoot first if they are open(free) enough
and ur SG seems to helping them with 7 assist
