    They say the distance covered was reckless but it wasn't even a full stride by Tari

    He moved less than a metre. It was a foul, but it wasn't flagrant. Basketball Buddha saw the injustice and made things right

    I have figured it out, Tari is a tactical genius. He undercut Garland to shake him up knowing he would miss both the 3 and his fts due to falling hard on the floor.

    Or Tari is just lucky tonight. Either of the two.

    We have 2 days to figure out a zone defense.

    22 turnovers (33 points off those turnovers) is a problem. We gotta clean that up

    Lol so true. I'm still in shock 10min later.

    I sat down on the floor before the 3pt FTs and through the flagrant call and haven't moved since.

    Best move of the 4th quarter is when Udoka switched and had Amen on Mitchell. Brooks had him earlier in the quarter.

    Nah that's a flagrant man was in the shooter landing area. That's the same sht klay liked to do when we had harden, it's dangerous

    Oh wow, I had parent duty and missed the ending. Probably would have had a heart attack

    Don't like our odds (RN) in a 7 game series vs. both, but I will take the W's

    We won despite Tari's dumb mistake and Green's off-night.

    Also, we need to retain FVV this off-season unless a superstar trade is happening.

    Jalen has got to figure out Zone defenses man, his aggression was literally not there at all and it looked like he was super discombobulated on offense. It’s going to be tough to win more games like this if he plays like this all the time. Thankfully, he’s shown us that he is much better than tonight, so I’m confident in his adjustment for the next game

    it is reckless cuz he didnt give Garland a space to land. NBA has been strict on this ever since Patrick Beverly undercut WB and ended his season early.

    Whew, I bet Cleveland's fans and forums are a mess right now lol. We were in shock and we won.

    On to the next one, we'll take the win

    I'm messing around just tired of seeing his foul on the 3.. like it's so heartbreaking when they are so careless.

    They ought to put Brooks in the post. He's been shooting it well with that fade away.

    I loved that trap by Sengun and Green together where they forced the turnover.
