The Cavaliers are clobbering the Hawks and creating art in the process.
LeBron James’ no-look pass highlighted an incredible 12-second Cavaliers possession
This whole play was insane.
I can’t stop watching this. The ball movement is immaculate even before the rock reaches LeBron James.
J.R. Smith passed up the first wide-open three-point look to Kevin Love, who wouldn’t have a defender running at him.
But Love decided that the second open deep-ball wasn’t the best shot his team could get in this possession either.
So he swung the ball to Kyrie Irving, who lured away LeBron’s defender. Here’s the third open three-pointer of the possession:
But it’s almost playoff time and LeBron is all about being extra and shaking the criticisms.
His shot fake sent Tim Hardaway Jr. flying.
Putting the ball behind his back had Dennis Schroder out of sorts entirely and overreact.
Paul Millsap’s help defense was purposeless as the ball swung full circle back to Smith for the three-point swoosh.
This was an incredible 12-second display of basketball.
Cavs back.
