In the last 20 seconds, plus the 10 seconds after the match ends where balls are still called, that is 5-6 balls that will have been scored. During all of elims 469 scored at least 1 ball after the match ended and 3 in one of the cases.
As long as an alliance can maintain possession of there balls and return them quickly to their home zone they can score large amounts.
You also need to think about how during that match 2 blue robots were trying to stop 1 red robot from scoring. There was one robot preventing the defender from being effective and there was still a second scoring robot that was uncontested while blue had a single robot scoring and no other robot to return the balls from mid zone to. Having a deflector bot in mid zone is a good strategy, even if they don't score you maintain control of the balls.
The human players start to bottleneck when you are scoring more then 6 balls quickly, so as long you maintain all the balls you get into your zone from auton you can score very well.
