Construct a no-pip-wastage game

Using standard backgammon rules, construct a legally played game such that

.....(1) One player bears off his last checker(s) when the other player has 13 or 14 checkers off.
.....(2) Neither side wastes any pips!

Can you do it?

Tie-breaker #1: Fewest number of rolls.
Tie-breaker #2: Highest percentage of correct Money cube action being No-Double/Beaver (includes both players), according to XGR++.
