Not exactly. Cedi entered with 6:45 left in the third with the Cavs down by 5 points. With 4:27 left he hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 4. Then came the sequence you described.It was basically a one man wrecking crew that took the game from a 4 point to a 12 point game in the span of, honestly, a minute.
He missed three straight layups an dcommitted two fouls.
A minute later he missed two straight threes and committed a third foul on a made bucket.
It was pretty bad.
Between 3:46 and 3:02, a span of 44 seconds, he missed three shots and committed two fouls, neither of which resulted in free throws. During that 44 seconds the score did not change; it was 58-52 Knicks. It was not Cedi's finest minute as a pro but it did not increase the deficet at all.
Cedi was on the floor at the end of the third quarter when the Knicks lead ballooned from 4 to 17 points in just under three minutes, but the only mention of him in the play-by-play is one missed 3-pointer. Those last three minutes were where the game was lost because it's very tough to make up 17 points in one quarter against the league's top scoring defense.
Cedi was ineffective but so was Sexton, Drummond, Nance, Prince, and everybody other than Garland.
