Chapter 391: LeBron’s Worst Nightmare.
At the start of the fourth quarter, the Celtics managed to trim the lead to under 15, keeping the game alive—at least, for the moment.
But when Cleveland's starters checked back in and Han Sen took over again, the reality became clear.
The Celtics' players looked shaken.
Because the cruelest thing in the world isn't despair.
It's being given hope in the middle of despair—only for that last bit of hope to be crushed right in front of you.
With two minutes left and the lead still sitting at around 15 points, Brad Stevens finally waved the white flag, subbing out his starters.
The Cleveland crowd erupted into a frenzy.
Four years ago, when Han returned to the Cavaliers, no one truly believed Cleveland could build a dynasty—hell, most people doubted they'd even win a ring.
But now?
They had just conquered their biggest roadblock, and the dynasty that once seemed impossible was now one step away from reality.
Ecstasy for some.
