Wrap-Up – Just when you thought you’ve seen every type of game-winning shot that Cleveland’s future Hall of Famer has in his toolbox, he breaks out another one to save the day.
Saturday night’s dagger came in the form of a running jump-hook, which LeBron James floated over the outstretched arms of Brooklyn’s Brook Lopez with 1.9 seconds to play to give the Cleveland the 90-88 lead. Jarrett Jack’s three-quarter-court heave at the buzzer drew iron but nothing more – preserving the Cavaliers’ perfect record at The Q.
LeBron had tied the game 14 seconds earlier, canning a pair of free throws to give Cleveland a three-point lead with 16 seconds to play.
