In Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Cavs had the Warriors on the brink. LeBron James KILLED IT. Then, George Hill’s eyes got big and he bricked a free throw. JR Smith then got the rebound and dribbled it out – all because he thought his team was still up by a point. Warriors won in OT. Needless to say, Twitter had a field day with his idiotic play.
Here is the play:
