Richard Jefferson’s Tough Shot, Game 2

After a loss in Game 1, the Cavs came out strong for Game 2. Unfortunately, despite coming out with some fight, the Cavs still ended up with an “L.” But one of those players who came out strong was Richard Jefferson, still kicking and fighting even at 35 years old.

Down by four points in the first quarter, Kyrie weaved a pass through two defenders to a cutting RJ. RJ went up strong and, whole mid-air, somehow got a wild shot up and in for the bucket. It was one of many baskets that night for RJ, who finished with 12 points despite the loss. Here are the highlights for all of RJ’s points:
