Lance Stephenson essentially disappeared off the face of the Earth when the last great Indiana Pacers team broke up. Like a fanatic in exile, Stephenson slyly came wriggling back into our lives as the Pacers got decent again. And with a series against a team starring LeBron James, the canvas on which Lance paints his most notable, bizarre work, Lance really took center stage on Sunday.

There was no ear blowing weirdness or jack-in-the-box summoning, but Lance — for maybe the first time ever — elicited a response from LeBron, who picked up a tech for pushing Lance off of him during a dead ball. (LeBron’s post-game analogy on the incident was funny.) Mission accomplished!

Lance’s real coup de grace was the surreal finish with the Pacers down three and the Cavaliers inbounding. Stephenson tried to rip the ball from Jeff Green but ended up getting Green in a headlock and tackling him. Somehow, things got even weirder from there. We’ll let Whitney Medworth explain it.

Suffice it to say that the Cavaliers won, evening the series at 2-2 as we return to Cleveland.
