Coach Nick and college basketball referee Chip Clark break down an absolute Game 5 thriller that saw the Cleveland Cavaliers pull off an improbable comeback to defeat the Detroit Pistons in overtime. We dive deep into the tactical adjustments—including why it took the Cavs so long to finally double-team Cade Cunningham after his massive 39-point performance. Plus, we go to the monitor to analyze the highly controversial non-call at the end of regulation between Jared Allen and Ausar Thompson. Max Strus's unbelievable hustle, James Harden's shooting fouls, and the late-game execution mistakes that shifted the momentum of this series are all broken down from an X's and O's perspective.
