Game 5 of the NBA Finals wasn’t very kind to Cleveland’s resident Russian Hercules, Timofey Mozgov.
While the Cavaliers were shooting around some 15 minutes prior to tip-off of the 5th installment of their series against the Golden State Warriors, ABC’s broadcast caught the 7-foot center taking a rogue basketball right square in the noggin.

It turned out to be an ominous sign for how the rest of the evening would go for Mozgov.
