    Why do players foul when they are down 7 with 6 seconds left?

    I had the Sixers +8 1/2. I counted this as a loss with about 6 minutes left in the game. Finally, they trail by 7 when a Sixers player misses a shot and a Toronto player gets the rebound with 6 seconds left. What happens next? A Sixers player fouls the Toronto player.

    Toronto player makes both free throws and they win by 9.



    I can't tell you how many times I've seen this.

    I agree with what each of you said.



    I thought the fix was in for the Sixers to cover since Toronto had such a good record (thinking they would get a lot of bets). I guess sometimes the public has to win.

    Lost by the hook as well. Still a profitable night overall, with Utah pending.

    I had Utah -7 also. I just now had Boston +6 1/2 and lost that one by the hook. Would have gone 5-3 if Boston and Philly win.

    Oh well, I can't be too upset.
