3rd Time is a Charm for Irving and the Cavs

When watching Cleveland sports, you are sure to always get frustrated. That included when I watched the end of the game tonight against a good 76ers team. Ironically, this was my first time watching the Cavs live all season (as I live in Baltimore). So with being in Cleveland this weekend it was nice to watch the game. I'll also be attending the Cavs game in Washington DC next Saturday night as they take on the Wizards.

Anyways, it was very frustrating that the Cavs had leads with less than a minute left in each regulation, the first overtime and the second overtime and they almost blew those. Part of that was due to poor shot selection and also credit is due to a very solid 76ers offense led by Michael Carter-Williams. No matter what the Cavs did, the 76ers came up with an answer. And with limited time left in each regulation, overtime, and double overtime (with a tied score), Kyrie Irving took the final shot. After missing his first two, Kyrie was successful the third time as he drove to the basket beating 3 76ers defenders to put in a layup with .6 seconds left in double overtime. With that win, the Cavs are now 3-4 and will take on the Chicago Bulls on the road on Monday at 8ET.
