 CLEVELAND (AP) - The shortest guy on the court grabbed the rebound under his own basket, scanned the floor once, and took off.
By the time all but one of the Cavaliers figured out Tony Parker had absolutely no intention of slowing down, only LeBron James remained between him and the rim at the other end. A shoulder feint left, followed by a lightning-quick cut back to the right, and the big man might as well have been a statue.
Parker went past James, then up, up, up, close enough to see his reflection in the backboard, and kissed the ball off the glass. What looked to all the world like just another moment of improvisation was almost a lifetime in the planning.
