Free throws are important because they are the perfect time for players to rest and they allow many teams to retaliate especially if the team is great at retrieving offensive fouls off of free throws which gives teams three chances to score.
  1. AND 1 then free throw
  2. AND 1 then missed free throw and then a offensive rebound to an easy lay up
  3. A foul followed by a made free throw then a missed free throw then an offensive rebound into an AND 1 and an additional free throw
