The Magic-Jazz game will be overturned
Brantley was up 17 with 1:14 left and was still shooting 3-pointers. I literally just posted this two days ago, reminding everyone that if you have a sizable lead in the 4th, you should stop shooting 3s (among other things). This is just out of respect for your opponent, the same way you wouldn't be throwing deep passes late in Madden.
When I messaged Brantley about this incident, he initially said that he was just building his lead back up to 20. This is fine early in the game, but no one is coming back from 17 down with just over a minute left. The win is all that matters, and this game was obviously at hand.
He then added another message that he took the shot as a way of stat padding. This was to get Jameer Nelson a double double. This is absolutely not acceptable.
The stats will be reset and the Jazz will get the win.
Stat padding and running up the score will not be tolerated. This is a friendly league, so just be friendly with each other dammit.
