Say what you want, and it's easy to disregard this, but the refs tipped the scales and let the Cavs even have a shot. That 4th quarter was horrible. Still needed the 2nd longest buzzer beater of all time for the Cavs to win.

What's insane to me is that this move is literally what James Harden built his entire career off of and got rewarded for doing. Strus is clearly blocking Kyrie's path. I don't understand how this could be an offensive foul unless they're calling the hook? But the only reason why Kyrie is able to hook Strus is cause he's blocking his path.
Insanity.
They called the hook, Cleveland crew immediately pointed it out
Edit: I agree it was a very soft call. There was a little bit of a hook, but not that strong to call it in such a critical stretch, imho
