Thanks....

to Danny Biasone. He invented the 24 second shot clock that is used in the NBA. He invented it to speed up the game and prevent teams from stalling. The worst case of stalling and holding the ball was evident in the Nov. 22, 1950 game between the For Wayne Pistons and the Minneapolis Lakers. The Pistons won 19-18 in the lowest scoring game in NBA history.

Which doesn't even come close to matching the Jan. 12, 2005 game between BFA-Fairfax High School and Milton High School in Milton, Vermont. That game ended 5-2 in favor of BFA-Fairfax.
