Brown Stuns 76ers in Last Second Win

Cavs clinch home court in first round of playoffs

(Newser) – Devin Brown sank two free throws with 0.2 seconds after Philadelphia was brought back from the locker room and the game seemingly over to lift Cleveland to a 91-90 win over the 76ers on Monday. The Sixers appeared to have won after Lou Williams hit a fadeaway jumper with 5.1 seconds left - his second go-ahead basket in the final minute.

Instead, Brown was fouled by Samuel Dalembert with only a couple of ticks left. The Sixers thought the game was over and ran off the court, while the refs huddled at midcourt to look at the replay. LeBron James scored 27 points, Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 22 and the Cavaliers clinched home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs
