Ridiculous basketball game on the Life of Riley?

Some bad writing again, this time, on the Life of Riley ("Basketball Game Bribe")...

In basketball, high schools play 16 minutes halves and 32 minute games.  I would imagine that junior high is similar.

Junior's junior high team is playing a game.  The announcer says:



The announcer clearly states that "With 10 minutes left, the score is 112-111..."

This means that the team scoring 112 points would have had to have scored 5.09 points per minute while the other team would have had to score 5.05 points a minute.

The two teams together would had to have scored an average of 10.2 points a minute.

While it's not impossible to score 10 points in a minute, it would be impossible to do that over a stretch of say, 3 minutes - probably even 2 minutes.

Scoring 112 points in 22 minutes while the other team is basically doing the same thing would be impossible, for so many different reasons, it's really not even worth going into.

PS - there was no 3 point field goal then.
