What'd he do?

He needed 2 points for a triple double. Spurs were waiving the white flag and he pulls up a couple steps inside the half court line to nail a 3 at the buzzer.

What'd he do?

Contrived triple double and was not obtained w/in the flow of the game is what I'm guessing.

i would consider tossing up a three from near halfcourt while the other team is walking off the floor not to be in the flow of the game

Who cares? Its basketball. I've never understood this running up the score bullshit. The game is 48 minutes. Teams should be able to play the full time.

Scummy way to get it.

It's an unspoken mutual agreement that prevents unnecessary freak injuries, and thing like the Malice at the Palace.

Malice at the Palace wasn't because of running the score up...

Players decide how hard they want to play. If an injury is going to happen, it will happen regardless. If a team wants to rest its starters and slow it down, its on them IMO.

If someone wants to run the score up, prove a point, and maybe send a message to a rival, they should be able to.

Duncan's face says it all.
