By now you've seen how opening night ended for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Trailing 97-95 in the closing seconds, LeBron James was rejected by Pau Gasol on a drive to the basket, and Jimmy Butler deflected the ensuing inbound pass to seal the victory for the Bulls.
James took full responsibility for the play afterward, and admitted that maybe going at Gasol on this night wasn't the wisest of choices.
