Carlsen Misses Mate In 3 vs Giri (Tata Steel)

i just posted about the lack of reaction after this game in lichess comminuty LOL
I'm a fan of Magnus and I got really irritated with that blunder because he played too fast. He had lots of time to think, the position was very tactical and deserved more thinking, But he just made the first move that came to his mind and spoiled a brilliant win. Why some players, even a wc, can't use time properly? If you're about to win and you have plenty of time on the clock, you just take your time and find the best moves to finish the bloody game!
GM Yasser Seirawan pointed out that the checkmating pattern Carlsen missed resembled the pattern that appeared at the final game of the world championship. en.lichess.org/vsSu15yZ

To add insult to injury.
I've seen this moment. No explanation of Carlsen's action.
