Even ESPN's casters noted it:
One particular sequence by the Cavaliers late during the fourth quarter of the game drew ire from both fans and commentators alike. With the Knicks leading 116-102 with just under two minutes left, the Cavaliers appeared to simply stop playing, allowing New York star Jalen Brunson to get a completely uncontested layup.
That led to criticism on the air from ESPN’s Mike Breen (who said that the Cavaliers “just stopped playing on that possession”) and from Breen’s broadcast partner Richard Jefferson (who added that Cleveland had even stopped playing on the possession prior to that as well).
