N.B.A. Finals: In Overtime, Missed Shots and Foul Calls Were the Key

For the first time in N.B.A. finals history, Games 1 and 2 went to overtime. Once again, fans were treated to five tense, vital minutes between two of the best teams in basketball, the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And on Sunday night, neither seemed to be able to make a basket.

The Cavaliers shot 1 for 8 in overtime, and they won the game. Iman Shumpert hit their one bucket, a 3-pointer that put them on the board 1 minute 13 seconds in, but he also had a layup blocked.
