Basketball Betting Lines
11/15/2008 -
Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ray Allen finished with 27 points and made
four key free throws late in overtime, as the Boston Celtics pulled out a
102-97 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Paul Pierce led Boston with 28 points -- including a 14-for-15 effort from the
free-throw line. Kevin Garnett scored 15 before fouling out as the Celtics
rebounded from a loss Friday to Denver. They have won seven of eight overall.
Andrew Bogut led Milwaukee with 20 points despite not playing in the final
four minutes of regulation and overtime. He was ejected with 3:58 left after
receiving his second technical foul.
Luke Ridnour finished with 19 points, which included the game-tying layup with
1.4 seconds in regulation, before also fouling out. The Bucks were coming off
an overtime win over Memphis on Friday.
Neither team scored in overtime until Luc Richard Mbah a Moute went to the
free throw line with half the time gone. He made both for a 95-93 Bucks edge.
Pierce answered with a three-pointer from the top of the arc, but Garnett
fouled out on the other end.
After the teams traded possessions, Dan Gadzuric took a dish from Ridnour for
an emphatic dunk and a 97-96 Milwaukee lead with 1:07 left. On the play, Rajon
Rondo ran directly into Pierce and the two players were shaken up but still
were able to play.
Each team was unsuccessful on its next touch, but with 24.9 seconds on the
clock Allen was fouled on a pass into the lane. He made both free throws for a
98-97 Celtics lead.
Richard Jefferson's shot rimmed out, then Allen grabbed the board and was
fouled with 10.4 left. He made both shots again to put the Celtics up three.
Milwaukee's ensuing touch did not go well, as Gadzuric attempted a mid-range
shot that missed. Pierce went to the line with 3.6 on the clock and made two
to seal the game.
The contest went to the extra session following a tight end of regulation.
With Boston maintaining a slim lead, Ridnour canned a three-pointer to get the
Bucks within two. Mbah a Moute then managed to hoist in a layup from the left
side with several players dangled on his arms. He was fouled on the play and
made the foul shot to give Milwaukee an 89-88 lead with just under three
minutes left.
But Pierce put Boston back ahead, 93-89, with two free throws and a shot from
behind the arc. Jefferson answered with a jumper, and after a few misses on
the teams' next possessions, Milwaukee got the ball and a timeout with 45.7
ticks left.
Coming back into play, Jefferson drove into the lane but was called for
pushing off to set up a jumper, keeping the Bucks down two. However, Pierce
missed on the Celtics' turn downcourt, and Rondo knocked the ball out of
bounds with 8.5 seconds left, giving Milwaukee one last chance.
Ridnour dribbled on the right side of the court, drove past Allen and put in
an underhanded layup with 1.4 ticks left to knot the game at 93-93. The
Celtics' last-gasp attempt was unsuccessful to send the contest to overtime.
A back-and-forth first quarter ended in a pair of Ramon Sessions free throws
that brought the Bucks within 21-20. Boston stretched out its lead in the
second quarter, and led 50-38 at halftime.
The game went back-and-forth again in the third quarter, and Boston led 71-59
going into the final stanza. But the Bucks got back into the contest on the
strength of an eight-point burst. Mbah a Moute had a tip-in followed by a
layup, and Jefferson made a pair of free throws and jumper to pull Milwaukee
within 78-76 with 6:45 left in regulation.
Game Notes
Garnett was also assessed a technical foul with 3:58 left in the game, as he
and Bogut both seemingly made vague swipes at each others' faces...Mbah a
Moute, Jefferson and Sessions all ended with 14 points each for the
Bucks...The game featured 10 lead changes and nine technical fouls.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
