Dahntay Jones makes sudden impact for Cavaliers

CLEVELAND – Late in the second quarter of Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue went to an unlikely member of his bench for a boost: Dahntay Jones.

After the Golden State Warriors cut the Cavs’ early 22-point lead down to 11 with a minute and a half remaining before halftime, Jones responded with a personal 5-0 run -- which included drawing two whistles on Draymond Green to saddle the Warriors’ multidimensional star with three fouls -- to send Cleveland into the break up by 16.
