New Orleans +2.5 - IN GAME

It's at Halftime now, SE Louisiana leading 40-32.

BOL 

New Orleans purposely FOULS only down by 2, with 40 seconds left.   

DUMBEST coach in the universe.  Would have gotten the ball back likely with 15 seconds left, with a stop.

 Ya that makes no sense at all, shot clock is 24 seconds, was that a genuine mistake or some kind of strategy?
