ATLANTA –- LeBron James had just missed a 3-pointer -- something that felt like a rarity in this series -- and the Atlanta Hawks’ fading heartbeat still had a pulse.
With about 10 seconds left, trailing by a point, Dennis Schroder brought the ball up court as Cleveland defenders scrambled around to get set on defense.
Schroder waited a few seconds before driving to the basket. But when he ran into a wall of Cavaliers in a hectic paint area and stopped, Schroder looked to pass the ball out. James came in, slammed his hand on the ball and a jump ball was called with 2.
