Atlanta's Free Throws (Game 2)

[FreeGreen]

Atlanta had to set a record for:
   1.  % of points resulting from free throws  (31 / 77 =40%)
   2.  Most Free Throws (40) by a team that failed to score 80 points

If I didn't know better, I would guess that one of the refs had money on the OVER, fortunately we know that could never happen. 


No complaints (as the Celtics won handily) but I've just never seen a team shoot (and make) so many free throws and score so few points.

I don't know if it was a record, but Mike Gorman sure was harping on the low score compared to their free throw attempts as if it was.

The stats are silly. They couldn't get field goals, so they don't have many, making the ratio high.

We were also VERY physical. That led to a low FG % and a lot of turnovers, but also a lot of fouls. We also took a lot of jump shots, so we didn't draw many fouls.
