LeBron wishes Dellavedova passed potential game-winner

LeBron James thinks one more pass would have made the difference.

With his Cleveland Cavaliers trailing the Chicago Bulls by two in the dying seconds Saturday, James was relegated to spectator as Matthew Dellavedova decided to shoot a wide-open 3-pointer rather than skip the ball over to him.

Dellavedova would air the shot and the Cavaliers would go on to lose 105-102.

"One more swing (of the ball), selfishly, I wish I had a look at it the way I was shooting the ball tonight, but Delly left it short," James told reporters.

James has a case. He went 13-for-17 from the field and 4-for-5 from beyond the arc on the night, while Dellavedova finished 1-of-5 from 3-point range.

The loss prevented the Cavaliers from clinching the No.1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
