It was below or at the level of the rim. But that doesn't matter.

Yes it does. Goaltending - Wikipedia

In NCAA basketball, WNBA and NBA basketball, goaltending is also called if the ball has already touched the backboard while being above the height of the rim in its flight, regardless of whether it being in an upward or downward flight or whether it is directly above the rim.
 
Almost every possession of IND-CLE is an ISO or pick/roll.
Ball movement isn’t almost non-existent.

Don't rely on wiki. Read the NBA's words.

Goaltending is confirmed when a player (offense or defense) touches the ball on a shot:

  1. After it reaches its apex (its highest point) and is on a downward flight toward the basket with a reasonable chance to go in;
  2. After it hits the backboard and is headed toward the basket, whether going up or down, with a reasonable chance to go in;

Happy to concede the point, but what is your source?
 
Pacers need some remedial box out training.

The best LeBron James game I have seen live 2012 Game 6 ECF at Boston down 3-2 he played the whole game.
When his team is facing elimination he won’t rest.

He led the league in minutes played this season, only played 31 minutes the other night because the Cavs were getting blown out, so he sat the fourth period.

Seems as if two, three years ago his lower-back issues were gonna cut his career short. Guy's a freak.
 
Jazz will be starting undrafted rookie Royce O'Neal today instead of injured Ricky Rubio. That's a little bit of a surprise.
 
That’s about the 12th double digit lead the Cavs have blown this series. Lebron starting to look gassed.
