Mike Scott voluntarily gave the ball to the Cavs in overtime
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Mike Scott had a prime opportunity to keep the Atlanta Hawks in a close game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but his brain fell out at the worst possible time. Scott just stood there and let the ball careen out of bounds, which ultimately helped the Cavaliers secure the win.
Poor guy just had a bad day at the office. It happens, but the timing was ugly.
#Hawks Mike Scott just told me "I cost us the game.. Never should have let it go out of bounds"
