AROUND the NBA:

[Chicagojk]

Celveland made a bunch of bad mistakes in last minute. Up 7 with 48 seconds to go:
- Nesmith offensive rebound and putback dunk on missed Siakam free throw. Btw -this putback was imho a clear lane violation by Nesmith - was way inside 3pt arc before Siakam launched his shot. He was basically next to Siakam on the FT line as third Indy guy. I am surprised refs didn't see that in the review Cleveland called for basket interference
- Mithcell offesive foul turnover just 2 seconds later 
- Strus bad pass turnover 28s to go and 3 points up
- allowed another offensive rebound to a guard after missed FT

Still, great win by Indy and Cleveland in a bunch of troubles.

Great games last night.  Indy has a way of doing that.  Although Cleveland definately contributed in that.  It spoiled a potentially nice short handed win that would have put Cleveland in good position moving forward.  Now they are in panic move.  They better hope their players are healthy and road teams continue their streak.

Disappointing Steph got hurt.  Hopefullly not serious.  Although a bad hamstring is not ideal for a player who likes to run around all game.  

I get Draymknd can be too much a lot of times but don’t let that hide how much of a basketball genius that guy is.  Eliminate all the other stuff and he is just a joy to watch. Buddy is on a heater too.  I would say they aren’t missing Klay at all.
