Pelicans Championship!

The Cavaliers heaved up a Deep Three-Pointer in the final two seconds, but it missed, and the third quarter came to an end.

As Tang Tian headed to the bench, he leaned on McGee and Ariza, gulping down breaths of air.

He had entered the Zone repeatedly, and his stamina was nearly at its limit.

He could feel his legs trembling slightly beyond his control, while his arms were aching beyond words.

It was not until he sat down on the bench that the exhaustion eased a little.

99–77. The Pelicans entered the final quarter with a 22-point lead.

A 22-point lead was large enough, so Stevens let Tang Tian rest on the bench and had Davis lead the team on the court.

Over on the Cavaliers' side, Lue did not let James rest, keeping him and Love on the floor.

With such a huge gap, there were not many opportunities left for the Cavaliers. If they could not launch a major comeback run, the game would effectively be over early.

At this point, the emotions of some fans at the arena became rather complicated.

But aside from that, they also hoped Tang Tian could return to the court and keep scoring.

After all, Tang Tian had already scored 62 points, just four points shy of the 66-point Playoffs Single Game Scoring Record he had set himself.

With an entire quarter remaining, breaking the record was practically a certainty.

But for Tang Tian to play again, the Cavaliers had to cut into the lead. Yet if they did, the Championship would become uncertain again.

Those were two conflicting things, so the fans' emotions were naturally complicated.

James led the team in a desperate push to close the gap,
