Bowen with his first DNP in what ... 8 years or something like that. He might have lost a step but a DNP? That's odd to me.

I allways hated that aspect about basketball anyways: fouling on purpose at the end to stop the clock and/or to send a weak FT shooter to the line. It just bogs down the game and most of the time doesn´t lead to much except alot more commercials. I can´t come up with an easy solution for this though. Everything I can think of is too exploiteable.
The difference in the game where all those energy plays in the 2nd half by the Hornets. Steals that lead to fastbreaks. Blocks, team rebounds, tipped balls. Marks was a great spark even though he can´t run.
Edit: Forgot to say. Suns lose. Mavs officially claim 8th spot I guess. Nowhere to climb. Nowhere to fall.
Edit2: LonghornDub beat me to it.
