Full recap coming shortly, but we just witnessed the following happen in the last 2:04.
That’ll Do It: Laker Miscues Help Cavs Beat Lakers
-Lakers tie the game.
-Pau Gasol misses two gimmie layups
-LeBron James goes one on five for a breathtaking layup to give Cleveland the lead for good.
-Gasol gets fouled, missed two straight free throws despite being an 86% free throw shooter
-LeBron makes one of two free throws, but Anderson Varejao, despite being double-teamed on the rebound, gets fouled by Ron Artest.
You hate to make too much of “clutch” play, but … one team melted down in the final stretches and the other team did just enough to win. Hats off to Cleveland for a great win without a key player against a great team.
