maybe its this one, definitely stands out...
quote from the recap;
lost top scorer Terry Rozier in the third quarter when he caught an elbow to the nose.
Rozier, who averaged more than 28 points over the previous seven outings, was never ruled out, but did not return to the game. The injury is not believed to be serious and he did not need stitches.
They also pay off the government and loss enforcement. Saw this in Philly a bunch.
I have an article from a 1949 issue of Sport Life written by an alleged bookie who chronicled his attempts at fixing games and preventing fixes:"Only Suckers Bet On Basketball."
Long before that time,a wise sage said:"Don't bet on anything that can talk."
That's why I switched to harness racing in 2018.

I’m glad people remember because mentioning it on this site was a nightmare.
The amount of people that are unwilling to even entertain that this is going on was amazing.
The main argument was that these guys make “too much” money to ever jeopardize their career. That’s a valid point, but you can never underestimate greed. These guys love free money and anyone who has ever been around them knows it first hand. They want every dime they can get their hands on.
The crazy thing is that we still see people playing tonight’s action. I never play the NBA anymore, but I use to play a nickel/dime per game. I bet totals like a complete lunatic. I often have flashbacks of being in a Detroit hotel and betting every NBA total on the board. Those were the days. I’m glad I turned the page on that chapter.
I'm replaying all the bets i lost and won when coaches/players foul at the end of a game over and over whether the game is within reach or not. And other times just run the clock out and don't foul yet it's the same deficit as other games when they do foul. Yes I know that wasn't very concise, but you get my point.

Yep!
Remember that this is only happening because sportsbooks took losses. They don’t give a flip about the countless games where fishy shit happened to cost gamblers money.
Case in point. Years ago. I had the over in Denver game. Player comes down hits a three with seconds on the clock. Called a 3 on the court. Was not waived off by ref. Game ends total goes over. I win. Bet doesn’t grade.
I turn on post game to find out the refs reviewed the video and the 3 was waived off. Under hits and I now have a loser.
That sums up the criminal, corrupt NBA in a few paragraphs.
this is the reason they got jammed up IMO. Everyone knows Trump’s administration is for sale which kind of makes it easier to deal with them. If they pay the price, this will go away quickly.
yep, I’ve seen it too many times. The review booth in both the NBA and football is criminal.
