CLEVELAND: Matthew Dellavedova's growing reputation as a dirty player -- deserved or not -- preceded him Sunday night.
And it seemed to play a part in another playoff entanglement, following his leg lock on the Chicago Bulls' Taj Gibson in the conference semifinals and his collision with the Atlanta Hawks' Kyle Korver on Friday that left Korver with a postseason-ending ankle sprain.
This time in a scramble for a rebound with 34.3 seconds left in the first half at Quicken Loans Arena, Cavs' backup point guard Dellavedova tripped over the Hawks' DeMarre Carroll and fell in a heap with Atlanta's Al Horford.
