four point play….
1. Clearly the fourth quarter of the 2020 NBA All-Star Game was more fun than any non NBA playoff game in recent memory. It conjured the players’ pick-up game drive, bringing out an actual desire to win. It was a huge win for Nick Elam and his “Elam Ending”.
Unfortunately, there is a rather large hole in the system that has been strangely overlooked by most people covering the game. Many critics lament ending a game on a free-throw while others complain that the system incentivises fouling when ahead by two.
