Exciting but ragged

Any NBA game in which two teams can score 236 points is a pretty good game, especially considering that half the league plays games where the combined score is in the 160s.
But last night's Nuggets game (Denver lost by a bucket) had absolutely no rhythm whatsoever. Between the fouls, the technicals, the scrums, the TV timeouts (why do pro teams need six regular timeouts, a horde of 20-second timeouts and two mandatory TV timeouts each game?), the game had all the charm of two elephants dancing in quick sand. Little wonder it took almost three hours to play.
Let's hope this is just an exception.
