- Get defensive stop: Force opponent to rush shot as quarter ends or clock expires
- Result: You've scored and they haven't
- (NCAA, 30-second shot clock) Down 3 with ~40 seconds left in the half: shoot within the first 3-4 seconds (leaving ~36 seconds), so after the opponent's ~30-second possession you still get the last shot
- Down 5 with ~38 seconds left: shoot quickly (leaving ~34 seconds), forcing the opponent to use their possession while you keep more than a full shot-clock cycle for a final shot
