PHILADELPHIA -- Larry Nance Jr.'s tip-in attempt off an intentionally missed free throw by LeBron James bounced off the rim at the buzzer, cutting the Cleveland Cavaliers' comeback against the 76ers just short in a 132-130 loss Friday.
As frantic as the finish was, what led up to it was even more remarkable: The Cavs trailed the Sixers by 30 points in the second quarter and found themselves only down one with 12.4 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
Had Cleveland pulled it off, it would have had the biggest comeback of the entire NBA season -- eclipsing the Washington Wizards overcoming a 27-point deficit against the New York Knicks on Feb.
