Again, the scores were tied on this one.

There was a lot at stake on the game, but not necessarily on the shot itself. Had the shot missed, an extra five minutes would have to be added to the game, which, going by the momentum of the final quarter (Cleveland outscored Chicago 25-16) would have most likely favored the Cavaliers.

In hindsight, it's easy to say that the Cavaliers would have won the series even if the Bulls led 3-1, given Pau Gasol's hamstring issues but there's a reason why overcoming a 3-1 series lead has only happened 11 times out of 226 chances.

It was great Chicago team. In fact, the shot was made over Jimmy Butler, one of the best wing defenders right now and even back then. Unfortunately, this is the highest it can go.
