Four-point play

The 4- point play (English four -point play) is a play situation in basketball.

If a player is fouled on a roll behind the three point line and throw strikes, he then wins a free throw. Can he make it, he scored a total of 4 points and thus a 4- point play. This is the highest score that can achieve a team with a possession. A 4- point play in basketball is rare, since a foul on a roll attempt behind the three- point line normally prevents a successful threesome.

Notable Events

• The first four -point game NBA history managed to Sam Smith of the Chicago Bulls on October 21, 1979 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
• On June 5, won the 1999 Larry Johnson of the New York Knicks, the third game of the Easter Conference Finals with a 4- point game.
• On 27 April 2009 James Jones of the Miami Heat reached two four -point games within eleven seconds. Thus it divides two NBA records with Jamal Crawford: Most 4-point games a player within a game and most 4- point games a player within a quarter.
