BROOKLYN -- With 2:42 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Cleveland Cavaliers clinging to a four-point lead, head coach Larry Drew signaled for Collin Sexton to come out of the game.
The competitive rookie wasn't happy. The look he shot to the bench spoke volumes.
It was a pressure moment, the Cavs' offense fading down the stretch again and in need of better execution. Sexton wanted to be part of that. He wanted to lead the team, take the next step in his development.
But this can be used as a learning experience too. It can teach him how to handle adversity, how to deal with a decision that can be disappointing in the moment.
