OT-NBA rule comes to life...

A little-known NBA rule had to be invoked late in the fourth quarter when the Warriors - already beset by injuries heading into the game - were left with just four players thanks to Morrow's injury and three players fouling out. Stephen Curry, the last player to foul out, was allowed to return to the game so that Golden State could have five players on the court. As for Morrow, we'll know more at some point, but for now he's day-to-day.

You can look at other teams trying to play through injuries or personel issues; there are other teams, similar to us, who are attempting to overcome the woes of the NBA...

Thats crazy lol 4 players.So if your team is down to five players and one of your players has 5 fouls,that player can foul as many times as he wants without getting thrown out?

here's the deal....the last player to foul out (w/ that team having no subs avail.) will be allowed to stay in the game...for every foul commited by that team therefore after will be charged with Technical and + 2 Fts...yes, for the rest of the game...(lasted only 4 secs in GS's situation)

Note: Stephen Curry became the first player in NBA history to play all 48 minutes, foul out and be allowed to remain in the game....
