CLEVELAND, Ohio – There are moments … That’s what I was thinking during the Cavs’ game Wednesday in Detroit. The exact moment was with three minutes left in regulation. The Cavs were down by nine points to the Pistons.

The Cleveland Cavaliers believed in a miracle, and the miracle came. Motivated by desperation, they turned around Game 5 against the Detroit Pistons by going on a 9-0 run to force overtime.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are weathering the storm of sickness as they look to close out their series against the Pistons.

According to the NBA, every whistle during that stretch was ruled a correct call (CC), while every non-whistle was deemed a correct no-call (CNC), including the sequence that immediately became the defining controversy of Wednesday night.

Their series against the Toronto Raptors in the first round went to seven games in part due to their inability to win games away from their home floor. Against the first-seeded Detroit Pistons, the Cavs badly needed to get one win on the road.

The NBA determined that no foul being called for the contact between Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen and Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson at the end of regulation during Game 5 of their second-round playoff series was correct.
