Hell of a game. Cleveland is in trouble with Mobley, Hunter, and Garland out. They don't play until Friday, they need them back. Who said Haliburton is overrated?
Celveland made a bunch of bad mistakes in last minute. Up 7 with 48 seconds to go:
- Nesmith offensive rebound and putback dunk on missed Siakam free throw. Btw -this putback was imho a clear lane violation by Nesmith - was way inside 3pt arc before Siakam launched his shot. He was basically next to Siakam on the FT line as third Indy guy. I am surprised refs didn't see that in the review Cleveland called for basket interference
- Mithcell offesive foul turnover just 2 seconds later
- Strus bad pass turnover 28s to go and 3 points up
- allowed another offensive rebound to a guard after missed FT
Still, great win by Indy and Cleveland in a bunch of troubles.
