    Rockets running up score on Jazz

    Was reading play by play. Houston was clearly going for a 50 point win or something. Chucking up 3s up by 47 points with under a minute to go? Utah scores with 24 sec left and instead of dribbling the clock out Houston chucks up another 3 within seconds.

    Here's the play by play in the final minute:


    0.0 End of game.
    4.0 Kevin Murphy made 3-pt. Jump Shot, Assist Alec Burks
    16.0 James Anderson missed 3-pt. Jump Shot
    24.0 Alec Burks made Layup
    33.0 James Anderson made 3-pt. Jump Shot, Assist Donatas Motiejunas
    40.0 Alec Burks made 2nd of 2 Free Throws
    40.0 Alec Burks missed 1st of 2 Free Throws
    40.0 Shooting foul on Cole Aldrich
    51.0 Donatas Motiejunas made 3-pt. Jump Shot, Assist James Anderson
    59.0 Defensive Rebound by James Anderson

    if they were running up the score wouldn't they have kept their starters in?
    god forbid guys like Donatas Motiejunas and James Anderson who never play get trigger happy and shoot around in the few minutes they get to play this season

    I never understood running up the score in the professional sports. They are both professional, paid big bucks and should be playing to their best ability.

    It's garbage time, scrubs are out there to play.


    It's not like they called timeouts or were pressing full court.

    as stated above its bench players trying to impress they don't care what the score is. And plus this is the NBA no such thing as running up the score.

    Lol, running up the score. They played the bench all fourth quarter while playing their style of basketball. They're not a post up team so going to penetrate and kick out for 3's. Forgive them if those shots are dropping.

    They ran up the score cuz Houston had to cover the 2h over 103. It was so obvious 2h line movement favored the over. Tons of sharp money was on the over 2h

    No such thing as running up the score unless you are a pussy.

    I don't have an issue with it. The bench players were in the game.

    At any rate, these guys get paid to play basketball. They get paid to play offense and defense. As long as there is time on the clock, they should be doing what they are paid to do. That's why it's called "professional" sports.

    It's not like it was Harden and Lin out there jacking up threes in the final minutes.

    I was a big fan of his when he was with the Bulls. He plays really good defense aswell.

    What source is that? Where did you get that info?

    It seemed like Utah got down 20 and then just gave up in the 4th.

    Dofba I have 2 very close contacts in the nba league office. One of them told me that this game had " very suspicious" money movement in vegas. There was a $100000 bet on the total 6 minutes before tip. I never reveal my info often but this one shocked me.

    Nothing would surprise me, especially when money is involved.

    I have "contacts" in the Thunder's organization. I don't know if you would call them contacts or just my friends and former college roommates that now work for the organization. LOL.

    The only cool info. I get about gambling from them is they're not allowed to do it and they get e-mails before the season every year from Stern.

    You have no money and no contacts. If you did you wouldn't be just another losing gambler.

    Jazz just flat out stunk.

    I watched third quarter and Rockets could not miss from 3.

    How does that jive with what happened late? Game still went under even with all of the unnecessary scoring.
