Iman Shumpert scored 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds in Game 6 Thursday night to help the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Chicago Bulls and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Cavs fans can thank Nikola Mirotic for that.
Late in the first half, Shumpert faked like he was going to attempt a 3-pointer and then drove to the paint. Mirotic, who bought the fake, reached out and clotheslined Shumpert. He then walked toward Shumpert as if to say, “What are you going to do about it?”
“That wasn’t smart,” Shumpert said after the game, per Marc Berman of the New York Post.
