I need to understand this rhythm. please help

Explanation:

One way to simplify rhythms is to subdivide, or break up the rhythm into seperate parts:

A time signature can be broken into sixteens like this:

1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a

So the rhythm in measure 53 is counted:

1   +   2    +   3 e +   4 e  

a free throw is worth 3 points
