James Harden and Matisse Thybulle

The game was full of back and forth between the Sixers & Cavs, no team was allowing the other to get a big lead, so it was obvious that the game result will be decided in the last seconds. When only 10 secs were remaining the 76ers had the lead of 3 points but the possession was with the Cavaliers and one bad pass from Kevin Love changed the game.
Love tried to pass the ball to Darius Garland the sharpshooter of the Cavs to make a quick three-pointer, but the ball was intercepted by Matisse Thybulle who then made a sitting pass to Tobias Harris for a game securing dunk.
