Am I the only one who teams go into "Everyone Turns into Ray Allen Mode in the 4th Quarter" against? Seriously, I think the absolute floor of made 3s by my opponent in the 4th quarter is 5 and generally they make 6-10 3s. I went through and did the math, and teams are averaging 33.2 points per 4th quarter against me in 16 games. Three times a team has scored 40+ points on me in the 4th quarter and three other times a team has scored 35-39 points on me in the 4th quarter. Other than two games, where I held my opponent to 20 and 18 4th quarter points, every other team has scored at least 26 points on me in the 4th quarter.

And, due to most of my games being blowouts, it's generally my opponent's very end of the bench unit doing all this damage and it makes no freakin' sense. Last game, against the Rockets, Robert Covington of all players scored 15 points in the 4th quarter and Isaiah Canaan scored 9 of his 11 points in the 4th. The Rockets, as a team, scored 43 points in the 4th quarter including 8 made 3s. The game before that, against the Warriors, Nemanja Nedovic scored all but 2 of his 14 points in the 4th quarter and Jordan Crawford scored 8. The Warriors scored 34 points in the 4th quarter including 7 made 3s. And in the game before that, against the Nets, Teletovic scored 18 points in the 4th, all off made 3s. The Nets as a team scored 42 points in the 4th and made 10 3s.

In fact, counting those games, here's my opponents' 4th quarter points and 4th quarter made 3s in my last six games:

Wizards: 37 points and 7 threes
Blazers: 39 points and 9 threes
Pacers: 38 points and 6 threes
Nets: 42 points and 10 threes
Warriors: 34 points and 7 threes
Rockets: 43 points and 8 threes

And those three point totals don't include the 3-5 other long 2s, with a toe on the line, each team makes in the 4th quarter.
