Unusual end of game stuff

H has a comfortable lead with 41 seconds left in the game. H-1 hits two free throws to make it 34 points on the night.

On the ensuing possession, despite being down a dozen or so points, V stalls. The intentions are clear.

H is looking to get the ball back, so they foul. The first is a common foul, double bonus. V makes the first, but misses the second and gets the rebound. H-2 chases down V-3, but makes no play on the ball. Intentional foul. Coach H complains about the call, technical foul. Four free throws and ball at the division line.

V inbounds and is quickly fouled, commonly this time. V misses the second free throw, H gets the rebound with 20ish seconds left, and goes the other way.

V, still down significantly, double teams H-1, who doesn't get off a shot for the remainder. Team H's next game is away.

Good for V.
