What are they watching? The ball, I hope. And it was being CARRIED for not one, but two (and possibly THREE) extra steps beyond what players already get away with---which is travelling in any other sane game. It would've been nice to see if the Cavs could close it to five or six pts., but that indefensible non-call by the refs totally altered the game at that point.
