Because they had to win by at least 4 or the opposing team would take the cover seed in the playoffs. So the team was worried that a 9 point lead could seriously cost them if the opponent scored a couple of quick baskets. Guess they figured it was easier and safer to be ahead by 12 and then just score in the wrong basket.
