6 days agoDonovan Dent's OT layup caps historical rally for UCLA
UCLA overcame a 23-point deficit to beat No. 10 Illinois 95-94 in overtime with Donovan Dent's last-second layup.
Roughly 48 hours after one of the most thrilling endings of the season, the Heat will square off with the Cavaliers once again on Wednesday inside Kaseya Center, the second of a home-home back-to-back. However, the latter is choosing to rest plenty of stars, including Mitchell and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley. Cleveland will also be without Darius Garland, Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson and Larry Nance Jr.
I could talk about how Miami's unorthodox offense has constantly befuddled opponents this season, or how its defense, often Miami's calling card, has faltered, almost forcing Miami to score 130 on a nightly basis in order to win games. I could also talk about how Darius Garland going out with a toe injury in the third quarter, the same type of injury that nullified him in the playoffs last season, did little to destabilize the Cavs' comeback.
