Nicolas Batum Has Wild Night in Cleveland

Found December 02, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Nicolas Batum
TEAMS: Portland Trail Blazers,  Cleveland Cavaliers
2c
It was one interesting night for Portland Trail Blazers forward Nicolas Batum against the Cleveland Cavaliers Saturday. Starting out the game, Batum had a series of missed dunks that looked pretty easy for him. However, he started cranking things up late in the game, as helped push the game into double-overtime when he got an offensive rebound and threw up a shot with only milliseconds to spare to keep the game alive. Batum ended it in solid fashion, hitting a leaning three-pointer in the corner with only .2 seconds left to put the Blazers up 118-117, resulting in a victory. Batum finished the night with 22 points and seven rebounds. Original article: Nicolas Batum Has Wild Night in Cleveland©2012 FootBasket.
