About a minute-and-a-half into Overtime last Monday in Minnesota, an old-fashioned three-point play by Sacramento backcourt man De’Aaron Fox pushed NBA OT scoring for the 2019-20 campaign to exactly 1,000 points … in reality, not a proportionally significant component (slightly over one-half of one percent) of the nearly 158,000 points that have been scored in the season’s first 98 “playing dates” and 712 games (through Wednesday’s play).
Wednesday’s Pacers-Bulls encounter in Indiana was this year’s 46th OT contest, two of which have extended to a second session – adding up to 240 OT minutes, the equivalent of five 48-minute games.
