Anyone see that. I didnt look at a line or a total or anything involved in that game but when I saw what happened in the last 30 seconds it was obvious. Then I went and looked at the lines just now.
Hawks are winning by DD clearly no chance Raptors can win.
Score is 80-90. Tor scores an uncontested shot after they miss an uncontested shot before that. Inbounds Toronto fouls guy makes 1 of 2 91-82. Tor calls time advances the ball. They take a long jumper, miss, no hawks close easy tip. 84-91. Intentional foul 2 made free throws 93-84. 20 sec time out for Tor. Guy drives to the basket uncontested and then kicks it out for about a 20 footer that isnt even close game ends 93-84 right on the numbers. Spread bounced around 10/10.5 with a small segment on 9. Total was 178.5 stuck around 177 most of the time but was 166.5 for quite a while.
Just the way it finished looks like the players were in on it. Obviously people will poo poo that but in a game like that with less than the shot clock to go you arent intentionally fouling or calling time outs to advance the ball then not taking an uncontested lay up for a useless jumper that wasnt even a 3 pointer.
Like I said I watched the end of it on NBA TV without any knowledge of the spread total or second half numbers, and just knew something was fishy the way that games last 30 or so seconds transpired.
