A crazy game was played in Charlotte where the Cavaliers took the win 101-102 thanks to shots from Kevin Love, completing 1.2 seconds from the end and a 17-point reversal. Before that, however, they lost a game of their own.

The Cubs led by 10 points and 92-98 in the fourth half with 2 minutes left in the finals. However, they conceded three threes for 101-98, requiring a basket from Jarrett Allen for 101-100 and two shots from Love (then a foul which he won after an offensive rebound and took the ball off Brandon Goodwin in the air), for 101-102. The Hornets had a shot at the win, but Gordon Hayward’s alley-oop pass to Miles Bridges never made it in the end after finding the back of the net.

Allen was the Cubs’ top scorer with 29 points and 22 rebounds, with Love adding 25 points (including 22 in the second half) and Goodwin adding 12 points (but on 4/14 shots).
