Pistons win in OT after Cavaliers botch an intentional foul with 5 seconds left

The Detroit Pistons just improved the best record in the NBA, thanks to a botched intentional foul from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

A clash between two of the East's top teams saw the Cavaliers up by three with less than 10 seconds left in regulation. They opted to intentionally foul rather than risk a game-tying buzzer-beater, leading to Jaylon Tyson bearing down on Daniss Jenkins as the Pistons guard brought the ball up.

Jenkins, however, anticipated the contact and began his shooting motion at midcourt, drawing a shooting foul and three free throws. He made all three, sending the game to overtime where the Pistons won 122-119.
