In what was a major turning point for the Cavaliers, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving helped withstand an early, fourth quarter Detroit Pistons run to win Game 1 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

As the quarter progressed, the Cavs needed to tighten the defense up more and more, which meant absolutely not easy shots. That included this tough shot by Tobias Harris late in the fourth quarter.
With LeBron James ahead of him, Harris drove to the basket and tried to score around or over him in order to chip into the Pistons fourth quarter lead. James is able to slow him down long enough to help Kyrie Irving get into the play, and together the two combine for a monster double-block on Harris while also saving the ball and igniting the fast break.
