On Thursday, J.R. Smith of the Cleveland Cavaliers committed what will be remembered as one of the biggest mental errors in sports history when he dribbled out the clock in a tied game to close out regulation of Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
The Golden State Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 124-114 in overtime to take a 1-0 series lead and the internet could not stop talking about Smith's unbelievable mistake.
Smith says he knew the game was tied. Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said he thought Smith figured the team was up when he collected an offensive rebound with 4.
