LeBron James scored 33 points to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night in Cleveland. Earlier, the Charlotte Hornets topped the Toronto Raptors at home.
Last week, we saw the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Detroit Pistons on a Matt Barnes game-winner, thanks in part to the referees not seeing the coach call for a timeout.
Thursday night in Charlotte, we had a similar event, but this time the refs caught Kyle Lowry calling timeout, so this half-court heave from DeMar DeRozan didn't give the Raptors the lead:
The play the Raptors drew up after the timeout did not lead to a score, and the Raptors and Hornets went into overtime.
I guess letting players shoot from half-court with the game on the line, rather than calling a timeout to draw up a play, is the right play and coaches have been doing it wrong for decades.
