Ayton lost all control of his arms after that Cam dunk. Incredible. The overtime was as enjoyable to watch as the rest of the game was infuriating.

This is the good shit. Watch Bridges on the defensive possession coming out of a Cavs timeout following his steal to fastbreak dunk about a minute into the video.

That was Marion level.

Did you see Kaminsky run around like a mad man afterward?

I’m pretty sure the possession after this he forced an out of bounds turnover as well. Feel like that should be a steal.

Yeah, I think the Cavs were shell shocked at that point. It was a dumb pass by Sexton.

except he went 1 for 9 on the rest of his shots.
You're only as good as your last shot.

Well wasn't expecting this kinda game smh

Big props to Okoro, I definitely wasn't worried when he was taking 3s but he continued to make enough of them and his drives were tough. Kid is strong and like his demeanor

Obviously Avatar Bros impact in OT was great so that made what was a fairly frustrating night end on a good note. Thought it was interesting that Monty left Cam in solely because of his defense over bringing back Craig which you wouldn't fault him for if he did

Dunk was nuts, I don't know if it's confidence as much as I think needing to get stronger as to why he doesn't go for more dunks but to be continued

Yeah! I think it was the most cherished play of the entire season

I am in the hospital and couldn't catch the game live. I was planning on watching the bally's stream after my daughter went to sleep, but accidentally saw a tweet notification about OT. So I took 10 minutes and watched the last 3 minutes of regulation and then OT. Holy shit that was amazing. And I am glad I didn't sit through the first 45 minutes of this game.
Hope everything is ok...

Booker has the same reaction as DA, which was cool as he’s usually pretty stoic when he makes a big play himself.

Sorry to be a downer. That final possession in regulation was one of the ugliest I can remember. Booker got tripled teamed, dribbled into the corner??, ran into a teammate, didn’t even look for an open teammate. Continues to happen and it scares me in the playoffs we seem that unprepared for crunch time. Please just let Paul handle the ball and try and run booker off a screen. I’m sure we will say the right things in interviews and continue to do jack About it. Maybe I should thank them for the fun over time

A couple of Twitter folks are saying we're just running basic stuff so we don't give away late game/end of game plays before we get into the playoffs. Even so, Book should know better than to dribble into a corner so 3 defenders can trap him.

I don't think anybody disagrees with you. That was about the worst we've seen yet. We need to run a play. See Booker winning shot over Dallas. See bubble for winning shot over Clippers. Maybe it's what Shel says and they don't want to give away anything but that seems weird to me.

Nobody backs Booky into a corner.
