Boston had no intention of covering the 12

Boston didn't appear to want to cover the 12 and the Bucks didn't appear to want to hit the over. 7pt game w/ 2 minutes left is usually a situation where you see more offensive action from the trailing team. Bucks were content to walk the ball up and turn it over. Not sure if it was a fix or just bad play from both squads.

On the other hand, in the Nuggs game, J.R. Smith fouls a jump shooter with 4 secs left and down 10. Free throws push it over. Ahhhhh......the NBA!

I'm with you. I splurged for NBA League Pass, so I could see me losing my money. Some of these games are downright sickening........
