CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Collin Sexton recognized his mistake immediately.
Leading a 2-on-1 break, with Cedi Osman on the wing, Sexton ignored a chance to feed his teammate and attempted a contested layup instead. While the play eventually ended in a made basket during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 100-98 win against the Charlotte Hornets Wednesday night, Sexton clenched his fist and slammed it against his leg before a brief chat with Osman and another with head coach John Beilein.
Too late. By that time, fans were already miffed, drafting their impassioned tweets about Sexton’s lack of court vision, awareness and passing ability. That play becoming the latest piece of evidence that the 20-year-old, in just his second NBA season, will never truly get it.
