Bleeeeech. I supposed the Pacers' magical run had to end somewhere and all the teams they faced before just failed to exploit the fact that they can't guard anyone who is large. The cold three-point shooting from both teams really destroyed any possibility of the Pacers winning, even though they kept it close. It didn't help that playing this in a 'neutral' Vegas arena is effectively a Lakers home game.
The biggest loser in this fight is NBA discourse, because starting now opinions on the IST's validity and significance are a referendum on opinions on LeBron.
