But in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, when Shaun Livingston took a jumper with about 3 seconds left in overtime and the outcome decided, the Cavaliers’ feathers got ruffled and Tristan Thompson got ejected. One can only guess how those emotions will affect things when the series resumes with Game 2 on Sunday night (Monday in Manila). And now the rules — arbitrary as they may be — are up for debate in the NBA Finals after the Cavaliers took offense to the Warriors playing offense. “I mean, it’s like the unspoken rule in the NBA: If you’re up by 10 or 11 with about 20 seconds left, you don’t take that shot,” Thompson said. So we’ve been doing that all year, since I’ve been here, too.”For his part, Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue shrugged off the Livingston shot Friday.
