I will gladly take that come from behind W with yet another dominant performance by Mobley. The difference between the first half of this season and the second half is night and day.

What a horrible game. I loved it.

Okoro with a game winning three. That last play had so many emotions. Mitchell misses the tying FT, gets the rebound, misses, gets the rebound misses, Nets get the ball, it flies out of their hands, LeVert gets the ball, no time-out for some reason, Allen sets a beauty of pin-down screen for a wide open Okoro, Okoro swishes it.

Honestly, such a gross game, but I will take the win.

Three more road games. If we win them all, we end up with a positive record on the road. Atlanta, Orlando, Orlando.

Winning isn’t everything, but it sure beats the alternative.

Ugly game, somebody had to win, glad the Cavs are learning how…

This is a step for the Cavs. I wouldn't call the Nets a bad team, but they are a flawed team with only Dinwiddie to create for them ... and a good team like the Cavs should be able to get their act together and pull out a win as a team not as a couple of stars and "the rest".

Oh, and fwiw, Mitchell was clearly fouled on the first put back attempt. He should have been on the line with a chance to take the lead - or maybe he should have been called for yet another line violation; but fortunately the basketball gods had our backs for a change.

The 2 minute report confirms that was a lane violation.

But missed that all four Nets committed a violation before the ball left his hand

They didn't care about that last time either.

Mitchell crossed the plane of the free throw line about 13 frames before the ball hit the rim. The Nets crossed the plan of the free throw lane about the same 13 frames before he released.

If they're looking for the player to step in the lane, not just cross it, there's more room for interpretation ... but who knows.
