Can anyone explain this end of quarter rationale?

Lakers get the ball with 21 seconds left in 3rd qtr

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR class=ysprow1><TD vAlign=top align=right>01.4</TD><TD> LAL - R. Turiaf makes shot</TD></TR><TR class=ysprow2><TD vAlign=top align=right>:01.4</TD><TD> LAL - R. Turiaf hits the second flagrant foul free throw</TD></TR><TR class=ysprow1><TD vAlign=top align=right>:01.4</TD><TD> ATL - Flagrant foul (type 1) on Z. Pachulia</TD></TR><TR class=ysprow2><TD vAlign=top align=right>:06.7</TD><TD> ATL - S. Stoudamire makes a 13-foot running jumper in the lane</TD></TR><TR class=ysprow1><TD vAlign=top align=right>:14.5</TD><TD> LAL - S. Vujacic drives to the hoop for a layup</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Why do you shoot with 14 on the clock at the end of QTR?

then ATL shoots early?

then a flagrant with 1 sec?

Both shooters must have had good opportunities for the basket.

Probably because I had the 2nd half under.

The Lakers might have been running down on time in the Shot Clock, but without the previous play its impossible to tell.

the times are wrong.....vujacic had a wide open layup and after salim stoudamire made the floater there was only 2.4 seconds left......lakers made a football inbound pass because turiaf was practically wide open at the atlanta 3 pt line....he then gets hammered by zaza and hits both fts.....kobe then misses a long 3...
