When we are talking about professional basketball this result isn't realistic.

NBA:
On November 22, 1950, the Fort Wayne Pistons defeated the Minneapolis Lakers 19-18 in the lowest scoring game in NBA history.

This was prior to shot clock being added in 1954/55.

The lowest scoring NBA game since adding the shot-clock was in 1955, when Boston won Milwaukee 62:57 (119 points together).

The lowest score by one team was in 1999 Chicago vs. Miami when Chicago scored only 49 points.
