Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James made a game-winning jumper in his team's 86-84 victory in Game 4 against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, but the amazing shot almost didn't have a chance to happen. Cavaliers head coach David Blatt came close to costing his team possession of the ball with 8.4 seconds left in the game after Derrick Rose tied the game with a driving layup. Cleveland didn't have any timeouts, but Blatt clearly tried to call for one, even stepping onto the court before assistant Tyronn Lue grabbed him and pulled him back:
Blatt acknowledged the gaffe in his postgame press conference, saying it was fortunate that his assistants realized what was happening.
"Yeah, I almost blew it," Blatt said.
