Looking at the last time this happened to you, the two players who fouled out hurt you pretty bad. Thier two top scorers were thier PG and SF, the exact two positions that fouled out on your team.

This is getting close to the truth. I believe you are playing mostly "let them play" for foul trouble. I would suggest "sit them" if it is a game you want to win. Once a player has 4 fouls, his defending is much lower.

This also showcases why having good backups is important.

Thanks all for your input. I at least have an idea of where to start to correct this. I know that it may seem like I am going chicken little, but this is a problem that goes back to last season. Unfortunately, you guys can't go back and see those games. I wish I would have posted this sooner, but I didn't know just how helpful this community was. There were so many things that went wrong in this last game: The free throw differential, the rebounding totals, the foul calling being disproportionate, etc. But my main concern was stopping these fourth quarter comebacks, because all of those other factors aren't always present in my collapses. Again thanks, and I will try to implement any changes I can to see if I can get different results.

I've been on both ends of those and it's not even always in the 4th quarter. These things happen in basketball. Just ask the Lakers.
