Cavs really didn't "NEED" the win

But man, did they get absolutely screwed worse than I've ever seen done in the NBA. Unbelievable game between the Cavs and Pacers leading to the Cavs losing a 20 pt lead after 3 quarters while the Pacers shoot 31 more free throws.
I don't like to blame the refs, but my god it's hard not to in this situation.

pacers had just gotten blown out for 2 straight games and they miraculously made their comeback today.
Highlights won't show the BS charge either

Interesting, sad stat for Cavaliers fans I'd like to share:
The Cavaliers are now 3-4 (42.8 winning %) this season in games in which they got up by 20 or more points. The rest of the NBA was 379-12 (96.9 winning %) entering Tuesday.

The Cavs are now 4th in lottery position. At this point in a dismal season, there is no reason to win. They are only two games up on Detroit and one game back of Phoenix for the 3rd position.
There is a talent tier at positions and the difference between 4 and 6 is the difference between MacLemore/Porter and Muhammed/Oladipo. (Relative because I don't know how Grant values them).
3) 69.5% chance of landing a top-4 pick
4) 47.7% chance of landing a top-4 pick
5) 29.2% chance of landing a top-4 pick
At the beginning of the season I root for wins. Once they are out of it and cannot make the playoffs, I root for draft positioning and continued improvement by the young guys (Thompson and Zeller, with Waiters out).

I always root for wins. Losses are going to happen regardless.
