Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt almost pulled a Chris Webber in the closing second of the Cavs/Bulls game four. After the Bulls scored to tie up the game, Blatt came onto the floor and called for a timeout (see video below). Luckily for the Cavs, the refs didn’t see the timeout call and Tyronn Lue made the assist of the playoffs for the Cavs by tackling Blatt back to the bench.
I think Tyronn Lue deserves a raise…
Wait Blatt tried to call a TO when they didn't have any….. Uhhhhhhhh

The ruling if the officials saw the Blatt TO would result in Cavs getting TO but Bulls getting FT plus possession: pic.twitter.com/xxJMRLZfXq
