The final play of Game 1 has endured plenty of scrutiny over the past two days, but it was by far the best possession the Pacers had down the stretch in their 109-108 loss to the Cavaliers.
An open 18-footer for one of your top shooters? That’ll work and would have been fantastic on one (or more) of the late-game possessions when the Pacers came up empty, twice not even producing a shot.
With 3:30 left in the game, Jeff Teague splashed a 3-ball to give the Pacers a 105-103 lead.
