CLEVELAND, Ohio — One rant wasn’t enough.

Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson — who first expressed his anger Monday over a pair of non-calls from Game 1 that led to injury — had more he wanted to get off his chest.

So, he unloaded.

Again.

And, this time, Atkinson added another controversial play, bringing the total to three that the Cavs sent into the league office for further review, hoping for retroactive flagrant foul upgrades.

The extra addition was center Jarrett Allen being pushed out of midair on a dunk, landing on his back. Allen stayed in the game and said he had no ill effects from that nasty-looking fall.

None of the plays were upgraded.

“In my opinion, all three plays were excessive in nature,” Atkinson said passionately about two prior to tipoff of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Indiana Tuesday night. “In no way am I saying the intent by Indiana was to injure or hurt, none of that. That’s not who (Pacers coach) Rick (Carlisle) is. That’s not who that team is. But I will say, and this is a little bit like big picture, we have to decide what that line is, what that excessive line is.”

On two fourth-quarter plays, about 30 seconds apart, reserve forward De’Andre Hunter suffered a dislocated right thumb while Evan Mobley sprained his left ankle.

Both players are out Tuesday night.

“We want guys playing. We want healthy guys,” Atkinson said. “I want to make sure that we have our best players playing in the playoffs. We need to have a real discussion with it.

“Competition committee, NBA, all us stakeholders in the league, we have to get on a whiteboard and just draw that line, what excessive is and what’s over excessive. It was over the line in terms of excessive play. And to me as a stakeholder in the league, there’s this rhetoric going around the league about, oh man, that’s playoff basketball. To me, that’s not playoff basketball.”

Early in the fourth quarter, as Hunter pushed the ball in transition and blew past Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton, the 6-foot-8 Hunter attempted a soaring dunk that was blocked by Bennedict Mathurin.

Atkinson challenged the play, angrily demanding a review. The three-person officiating crew of Zach Zarba, Sean Wright and Gediminas Petraitis looked at it multiple times, from multiple angles, and stayed with the call on the floor — a clean block, out of bounds against Cleveland, as the ball landed on Hunter while lying on the baseline.

“It’s inconceivable to me — inconceivable — that a guy can go for a layup like that, have the ball in his hands, OK, Mathurin makes a good play on the ball, but absolutely drills him, obliterates his body, goes down, there’s an injury,“ Atkinson said. ”Now you say, well, a guy can get injured in any play. One-hundred percent. But if you’re going to tell me that does not increase the chances of a guy getting hurt, then maybe I’m off.“

The other play in question came earlier.

Mobley took a pass in the paint, dribbled toward the middle and flipped in a mid-range jump hook — a play in which Mobley landed awkwardly on Myles Turner’s foot, rolling his left ankle and hobbling the remainder of the game.

Still walking with a pronounced limp in the locker room ahead of Game 2, Mobley is having a difficult time putting full weight on his lower left leg.

“Was it intentional? No. Are they dirty plays? I’m not saying that,” Atkinson said. “What I’m saying is, just like they want our players playing more games and all that, we also have to ensure that our players are playing in the playoffs. It bothers me. It bothers me as a fan of the game, as a stakeholder in this league that we have to find that line. What is passed excessive and then what are the sanctions when it goes on that, even if it’s not in malice or bad intention, because we need our best players to play in these great playoffs we have.”

According to a source, the Cavs were informed that two of the plays submitted — the Mobley shot and Allen play — should’ve been called fouls.

Briefed on what Atkinson said pregame, Carlisle offered his view.

“He’s protecting his players and that’s a big part of the coach’s job,” Carlisle said. “There are so many events in an NBA game, they turned in three plays to the league. When you turn in plays, the other team has to be notified of that. So, we were notified.

“I don’t want to tell you the number of plays we turned in during out Milwaukee series and we won four out of five games. There are so many things in a heated playoff series that you disagree with. The play with Allen, that was a missed call, clearly. The play with Mathurin was challenged and the challenge was deemed unsuccessful. Nobody wants players hurt.”
