Let’s go back in time for a minute, and remember the 2015 Eastern Conference Semifinals versus the Chicago Bulls. The Cleveland Cavaliers are up 3-2 heading into a clinching Game 6 in Chicago.

Kevin Love was not available for the series because of injury, and Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls looked very capable of knocking the Cavs out of the playoffs. A relatively unknown hero was born in that pivotal Game 6.

Matthew Dellavedova stepped up and led the team with19 points on 7-11 shooting from the field.
