Cavs get it back to a 1 point game and look to be feeling it* ... 88-89, 8:45 left .. LBJ with 38

James with a big play to put the Cavs in front, then converts from the line for a 2 point lead with 50.8 remaining

Wow big moment, James draws a controversial charge call, gets reviewed then overtured, KD to the line and ties the game with 36.4 left.

Hill goes to the line, sinks first to tie it up, misses 2nd. Smith rebounds but they dont get a shot off .. OT!!

Warriors by 7 1:55 left, Cavs look to have blown a golden opportunity to snatch home-court advantage

Brief hopes of an all-in brawl at the end, but sadly didnt eventuate
