Last night's Cavs vs Nets game was extremely satisfying. Most of it was quite ugly on our part, but in the last 2-3 minutes or so you could see a great example of what Cleveland media people call "Cavaliers basketball."
The defense tightened up, and several players made major contributions to the victory. The local people didn't interview Mitchell after the game, but it looked like he missed the second free throw on purpose. After that it was obvious why Caris LeVert is such a useful player for our team. Somehow he was able to keep the ball and spot Isaac Okoro in the corner, all alone.
Okoro is mainly a defensive player, but he practices that corner 3-point shot all the time, according to his teammates. It was the first game-winning shot of his career. He was so excited afterwards he could hardly speak.
