    If you ever question the validity of the TNT first game 1H over

    The Celtics and Knicks were in a typically 38-34 slugfest last night with 3:48 left in the first half. The 1H total was 94.5, which means there needed to be 23 points scored in the final 3:48 for it to go over.

    There were 26.

    Note all the free throws, including 18 in the last 3:02 of the half. There were only 48 free throws attempted by both teams in the game, but 18 in the last three minutes of the first half (including 8 in the last 51 seconds)?

    Of course, the game slowed to a crawl in the 2H as the teams made "defensive adjustments" -- but you can always count on that TNT 1H over to somehow magically hit in game one of the night.

    This is what caused the 1H to go over in the Clipps Suns game. 1H over was 95.5. Hits 96 with 2 T's after Crawford missed the shot that would have put it over.

    I had the over in the Celtics game. I feel like they scored like 40 points in the final 5 minutes. I had literally conceded it as a loss and then it became a free throw feast. Its incredible how the wholw flow of the game changed. Unreal.

    I also had under 97 in the Suns game and miraculously landed on 96.

    Someone said they had 95.5 do that means it could have been middled. LOL.

    Check the box score in the Suns game. With six minutes to go I thought I had an easy win because only like 65 points had been scored and the offense was terrible. Then it became a three point shooting contest and I had to sweat out a 1 point cover. So if someone had under 95.5 they got royally screwed by .5. There were technical free throws at the end of the half with no time remaining too.

    Amazing...

    All just a coincidence -- and very, very, very, very, very, very sharp lines.

    I had the 2nd quarter -1.5 Clippers and with a 2 point lead for the quarter and the last possession I was certain I will win until this happened to penetrate my bet....
