Winning at home, especially a close-out game, is all about getting the crowd into it. Shaun Livingston tried his hardest to do that last night when he drove into the lane, elevated, and threw down a monster one-handed dunk over Cavs forward Richard Jefferson, who is quite the athlete in his own right.
Though the Cavaliers ended up with the last laugh, thanks to a historic pair of performances from LeBron James and Kyrie Irving–the first players in league history to each score at least 40 points in a Finals game–Richard Jefferson is likely home licking his wounds. He’ll have a chance at revenge on the Cavs home court when the team travels home to stave off elimination once again in Game 6 on Thursday.
It’s okay, RJ. We know you can take it as well as dish it out.
