Look out, Atlanta.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are headed to Philips Arena after taking the first step in figuring out where they’ve gone wrong over the past two months.
In overtime of Wednesday’s matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves, LeBron James blocked Timberwolves’ Jimmy Butler 's jump shot with 1.3 seconds left and the game tied at 138. On the inbound, James, covered by Butler, was passed the ball at the free throw line on the other side of the floor and sank the game-winning shot with 0.4 seconds left.
What a game.
