The Cleveland Cavaliers lost Game 1 of the NBA Finals 124-114 to the Golden State Warriors, but they had a win within reach in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter.
Then, J.R. Smith happened.
With the game tied at 107, Smith gathered a rebound off a missed George Hill free throw and proceeded to dribble further and further away from the basket, despite having more than four seconds left.
Like clockwork, NBA Twitter jumped all over Smith and his late-game gaffe. Here are some of the best tweets.
