This game had everything: spectacular plays, gruesome injuries, amazing comebacks, awful officiating, baffling coaching decisions, and the best basketball player in the universe prevailing late. It promises to be a long, enigmatic, frustrating, and jaw dropping season for Cleveland.
The game started out with Kyrie canning a floater after being booed during the opening introductions and the game going back and forth before the unthinkable happened.
Gordon Hayward went up for an alley oop and LeBron contested, bumping him up high. Somehow Hayward’s leg got caught under him, and it folded as he crumpled to the floor.
