I have a similar problem (why I wasn't really able to push past 2k MMR yet, aside from just not grinding enough games). Lategame you have so many resources available and so many things can happen that it can be hard to keep track of all the possibilities and sheananigans that could be coming your way. Especially with the limited time you have available to make your decisions. Do I protect from some gutshot war factory? Will there be a sudden abyss? What if someone buys 4 packs of lvl 2 steel balls with range and drain? Need to protect from loose formation crawlers or sudden shield on fangs, wraith with degen out of nowhere, creative beacons and all that jazz.
In most cases in rounds 10+ if the game is close I tend to lose because I run out of time without doing all I could to save myself or I forgot about one of the many ways my opponent could cheese out the victory. Because I'm mostly playing symmetric standard boards my games sadly tend to run longer than usual (but I don't really like playing aggro or asym, feels to me like being at the mercy of RNG gods).
