Raise your hand if you predicted that the Cavaliers would snap their 10-game skein on a Lamar Stevens dunk in the game’s final seconds.
It might not have been a typical victory for the Wine & Gold, but it was one that was desperately needed – as Cleveland scored the game’s final five points, including the dunk by Cleveland’s undrafted rookie, to take the 112-111 victory on Tuesday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
The Cavaliers trailed by five with 3:15 to play, but squeezed the Hawks down the stretch – with Collin Sexton’s bank shot getting Cleveland to within one, 111-110, with just over a minute to play.
