CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The two minutes Larry Sanders played Tuesday night may be among the most intricate and celebrated 120-second stretches in NBA history.
Let's see: Sanders missed his lone shot and committed two fouls in the Cavs' 128-96 win over the Detroit Pistons.
And yet he was greeted by a standing ovation from Cleveland fans; made the subject of a postgame speech by LeBron James; and was the reason coach Tyronn Lue sent a ball boy into the stands to go find general manager David Griffin and ask him Sanders could play at the end of a blowout.
