The Cleveland Cavaliers got absolutely spanked by the Indiana Pacers, 98-80, in Game 1 of their first-round NBA Playoff series, and LeBron James was visibly upset about it.

In fact, King James was so frustrated by the butt-kicking he and his teammates received at the hands of Lance Stephenson (who was extra spicy in this one), Victor Oladipo and the Pacers that he walked off the court before time expired.
Not surprisingly, fans on social media were quick to pounce on James for his lack of sportsmanship.
So Tom Brady gets criticised after the super bowl for not "shaking hands" even tho he tried. But @KingJames just put a towel over his crying face and walked off the court before the buzzer even sounded! Can't wait to hear his excuses postgame! "They're a super team"

LeBron couldn't beat Indiana at home AND walked off the court early. Is HE the kind of guy you want playing for YOUR team? Phone lines are open for the first time today! (610)…

Damn LeBron walked to the locker before the final buzzer. Kinda gave me the same feeling whn he walked off after losing to Boston back in 2010 months before “The Decision”

Want to know what’s wrong with the @NBA? No sportsmanship. The fact that @KingJames walked off the court before the whistle blew shows your character. Sore loser! #PacersVsCavs

Lebron walked to the locker room before the buzzer even went off. Good sportsmanship Bron

So much for sportsmanship. LeBron walked off the court before the game ended and didn't shake hands #NBAPlayoffs

James clearly has some explaining to do. This was not a good look.
