For much of the night, LeBron James had torched the Detroit Pistons with hard drives, beautiful set-ups for his teammates, and knocking down shots. So you understand his surprise when he caught a pass at the three point line from Kyrie Irving with absolutely no one within seven feet of him.

Sure LeBron James has struggled with his jumpshot this season, but this is the playoffs. You don’t just leave someone open, let alone the best player on the planet. James knocked down the triple and then ran down-court with a confused look towards Marcus Morris. The two also exchanged some words after, but it didn’t affect James as he finished with 27 points, six rebounds, three assists, and three steals on 12-18 shooting from the field.
Don't mess with the King.
LeBron sinks a 3, then has words with Marcus Morris.
