Charlotte’s first free throw against Memphis came at the 10:13 mark in the fourth quarter, an and-one for Charlotte point guard Tre Mann. That came a few ticks earlier than the Cavs’ first free throw attempt against New Orleans, which came at the 9:00 mark, an and-one for Darius Garland. The Cavs finished the game with just three free throws, the team’s lowest total since 1994. Cleveland star Donovan Mitchell wasn’t even alive the last time it happened. Back in Memphis, Charlotte finished with a parade of free throws in the fourth quarter, ending up with 13, still down from their season average of 18.5. Believe it or not, the bizarre free-throw droughts didn’t end there. Up in Portland, the Blazers logged just one free throw in the first half. That’s the lowest free-throw total at halftime for the ball club this season. And the season before that. And the season before that and the season before that.
