It's maybe not the greatest argument for the excitement level of the 2018 NBA Finals that its most memorable moment — the one most likely to outlive all others from the nine-day championship round, and to pop to the forefront of our minds when we recall the Golden State Warriors' third NBA title in four years — was J.R. Smith's disastrous brain cramp in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter of Game 1. On the off chance you don't remember how it went down: After a brilliant 51-point performance by LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers trailed by one point with 4.7 seconds left, and had point guard George Hill going to the line for a pair of free throws to give them the lead. Hill hit the first but missed the second, leaving the game knotted at 107 … only for Smith to beat Kevin Durant and Draymond Green into offensive rebounding position, grabbing the loose ball and giving Cleveland back possession with a chance to get one more shot at a chance to upset the heavily favored Warriors and steal home-court advantage in the Finals.
