[This is from what I saw and the notes I took. Please excuse spelling, grammatical, and typing errors. Times listed indicates time _left_ in the quarter, half, game and/or overtime and the team listed after the score is always the team that is ahead. A brick is a short shot that hits the part of the rim closest to the shooter. To save time and typing, I only list players by their last names.
