CJ Miles had the potential game winner in Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs in Cleveland but he missed it.
After the game Paul George said that he had to shoot it.

Per USA Today, George was adamant that he should have gotten the ball back.
"I talked to C.J. about it," George said. "In situations like that, I gotta get the last shot. C.J. took it upon himself. I'm confident with all of my guys taking shots. That's not the issue. In that situation, I need the ball."
Miles didn't make any excuses.
"Obviously, we wanted to get the ball to Paul to be able to get the shot to win the game," he said. "I got the ball at four (seconds), so I had to take it myself. I got a good shot. I just didn't make it."
James said the Cavs' plan on the final play was not to let George beat them.
"We wanted to get the ball out of his hands, make somebody else try to beat us and live with the results," he said.
