Debunking Salmons/Harpring myth
Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2009 2:19 pm
It's important cause it does stand lonely in memories of few bashers.
John Salmons scored 21 points in Kings' home 117-107 win. He had 6 points coming into 4th Q.
10:47 Millsap Foul:Shooting (3 PF)
10:47 [SAC 75-79] Salmons Free Throw 1 of 2 (7 PTS)
10:47 [SAC 76-79] Salmons Free Throw 2 of 2 (8 PTS)
10:23 Millsap Foul:Personal (4 PF)
10:23 [SAC 77-79] Salmons Free Throw 1 of 2 (9 PTS)
10:23 [SAC 78-79] Salmons Free Throw 2 of 2 (10 PTS)
9:52 [SAC 80-81] Salmons Floating Jump shot: Made (12 PTS)
9:23 [SAC 82-84] Salmons Jump Shot: Made (14 PTS)
9:23 Harpring Foul:Shooting (2 PF)
9:23 [SAC 83-84] Salmons Free Throw 1 of 1 (15 PTS)
9:04 Okur Foul:Shooting (2 PF)
9:04 [SAC 84-84] Salmons Free Throw 1 of 2 (16 PTS)
9:04 [SAC 85-84] Salmons Free Throw 2 of 2 (17 PTS)
7:29 Harpring Substitution replaced by Brewer [SAC 89-86]
So Salmons scored 11 points in that legendary 2-minute performance: 6 points on free throws after Millsap's and Okur's fouls and 5 points on jumpers and free throw against zone defense.
Here is the evidence:

Watch from 1:10 to 1:20 mark. The floater came from the middle while Harpring was in left corner. The short jumper was off the dribbling when Matt had to sprint from his man under basket to perimeter.
There was no timeout called but I have no evidence if zone defense was played during whole 2-minute stretch.
