LeBron James ripped into the Indiana Pacers on social media on Tuesday night after the team let a late lead slip away against the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
James said on X how the Pacers should have fouled up three and not given Jaylen Brown the chance to swish the game-tying 3-pointer with under six seconds left in the game.
Indiana held the lead on the road for almost the entire last five minutes of regulation. After a turnover under the Boston basket gave the Celtics the ball down three within striking distance of the hoop, the play the home team wanted was obvious.
The Pacers had a timeout left and could have used it to see how the Celtics would be set up offensively. Boston was also already in the bonus, giving them two free throws with any Indiana foul.
'And y'all still wanna know why I would foul up 3 EVERY SINGLE TIME??' James posted to X.
