With the game tied at the end of regulation, LeBron James had a chance to win the game for the Cavaliers.
James decided to take the last shot with Trevor Ariza draped over him.
James would end up hitting the back of the rim and missing the game winner after playing a little one-on-five on the last possession.
The game would then head into overtime.
That wasn’t the only big shot James missed. At the end of overtime, with Cleveland trailing 104-103, James would be fouled and would head to the line to give his team a chance at taking the lead.
James would end up missing both free throws and left everyone shocked. Overall James had 37 points on the day but missed 20 shots and eight free throws.
James had a chance to win the game for Cleveland twice but failed to do so both times. It was probably a shooting performance James would like to forget.
