Boston Celtics Have Mastered the NBA's Game Clock with This Cool Trick
The game clock runs continuously on made baskets before the final two minutes of the game. The shot clock, however, does not start until the ball is touched. So if the team isn't forced to pick the ball up and start the shot clock, they can keep the ball as long as they'd like while the game clock winds down. It's a smart strategy for teams looking to stave off their opponent's fourth-quarter comebacks.

Boston also used the trick in their Oct. 21 win over the Miami Heat and their victory over the Orlando Magic the following night.

As long as the loophole exists, teams would be silly not to follow suit.
