If nothing else, Saturday’s contest in Sacramento has to go down as the weirdest, wildest ending of the season. Unfortunately, the Wine & Gold were at the wrong end of it.
When the smoke cleared on the game’s bizarre close, the Cavaliers had dropped their second decision to the Kings in the past six days – a 100-98 heartbreaker at the Golden 1 Center.
There were 11 lead-changes on the night, including three in the fourth quarter. All three came in the final 6.2 seconds.
After Lamar Stevens gave the Cavs a two-point lead, Sacramento’s De’Aaron Fox scored on a driving layup and was fouled by Collin Sexton, hitting the free throw to give the Kings a one-point edge at the 6.
