Ken and Lima are still riding high from the overtime win and turn their attention to the Detroit radio meltdown happening in real time, with Ken relishing every second of JB Bickerstaff and Cade Cunningham complaining about the final play while the Cavs prepare to close out the series at home. Ken makes the point that the disputed no-call at the end of regulation was the right non-call given how physical the entire game was, and that if Detroit wants the game decided at the free throw line on a 70-foot play with less than a second left, they simply are not built for this moment. Ken also gives credit where it is due on James Harden's foul drawing, pointing out that Tobias Harris keeps closing out recklessly and that is entirely a Detroit adjustment problem. The bottom line is Ken could not be more confident heading into Game 6 at home, calling this overtime win one of the most inspiring moments for this Cavs team since LeBron was here.
