So, "foul up three" is the tactic of OKC coach Mark Daigneault. It mandates (and is is a mandate) that late in a close game when the leading team has a three-point lead, it should foul the trailing team, you know, to prevent a game-tying trey. The cancre has a natural home in Sensitive City and so spread there. Last night the Sensitives had the beguiling lead with 5 seconds left. So, Sensitive coach Kenny Atkinson did the cancre thing and instructed his cancre players to foul some Blaring Horn. Jaylon Tyson did as instructed. His intentional victim was Blaring Horn Daniss Jenkins. Daniss however is no cancre. Daniss anticipated Cleveland doing Cleveland things and before he had gotten to half court Tyson grabbed him. Rather than curl in the fetal position upon contact, the brilliant Daniss launched a "Hail Mary" as it is called in Christeean precincts. The shot was actually on target but short. If it had gone, Daniss would have had a chance at a four-point play and the dub in regulation. No matter. Daniss sank the three free throws and Blaring Horns needed merely the five extra minutes of overtime to snatch victory from the asshole of defeat.
Thus once again Cleveland did Cleveland things.
