Another NBA match, another final that will be told over and over again, showed what makes basketball such a special game.
Miami welcomed Cleveland, two great teams played a great match, and then everything was resolved in a "madhouse" the likes of which are not often seen.
First, the Cavs tied the game (138:138) with 0,4 seconds left on a Donovan Mitchell three-pointer, and it looked like overtime. However, the great Erik Spoelstra once again pulled off the winning play.
The Cavs were hitting Miami's blocks under the basket, they couldn't save their shots, and Andrew Wiggins had an open path to the basket... Nikola Jović made an alley-oop from the drive, and the Canadian dunked for a big triumph - 140:138.
