Any chance of looking at the 4th quarter game engine mechanics?

I've noticed and experienced several games where the fourth quarter shifts into crazy hyper-drive and completely changes a game.

Most recent example: team scores for first three quarters? 24-20, 22-19, and 16-19. Fourth quarter? 38-41

I understand that things can heat up in the 4th, but 60 total points through 3 quarters, and then 40+ in fourth quarter?

Just dial it back a notch. Thanks.

this also does not happen every single time.

if it happened every single game, then perhaps this would be a problem.

but the example you have shown above, doesn't happen that often, maybe only a few times a season for me.

In a close game, teams foul on purpose towards the end of the game to try and catch up. This means that one team only uses about 1 second of the game clock and then gets to shoot free throws, resulting in high points per minute. If the other team than quickly hits a 3 in attempt to close the game, you get even more points in a short timespan.

I hope this helps you understand this is not a bug.
