...Celtics had tied the game with seven seconds left when center Dave Cowens tipped in his own missed shot. They got one last opportunity after Smith's clutch shot gave the lead back to Buffalo, but Don Nelson's last-second baseline jump shot was blocked by forward John Shumate...

Nelson found that, while there were only 23 or 24 prosecutions a year for property crime in Massachusetts before and during the Revolutionary War, by 1784 that figure had more than doubled and by 1790 more than tripled. Of course the population was increasing as well, and so the rate at which crimes were being committed may not (no one knows) have gone up as sharply.
