This is definately a result of the possibility to descore this season that was not present in the past. It was often more worth it to sit still for the last 10-15 seconds, especially when visibility was lowered because of the number of stacks. Trying to get an extra tote or 2 out at the last second wasn't worth the risk of knocking down multiple stacks.
