Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers had an especially memorable ending in both regulation and the ensuing overtime.
J.R. Smith rebounding a missed George Hill free throw and dribbling towards half court thinking the Cavs were ahead will assuredly become one of the iconic sequences of Finals lore.
Overtime arrived at least partially as a result of that mental error, and the Warriors dominated the extra time allotted.
As that overtime was nearing its conclusion, Shaun Livingston attempted a jumper so as not to commit a shot-clock violation.
