Sports commentator Skip Bayless wasted no time sharing his take on LeBron James’ missed opportunity, staying true to his critical reputation. He took to Twitter shortly after the game, posting:
“No surprise, LeBron missed a wide-open 3 to tie at the buzzer – short left. He was great until real clutch was required. BAD SIGN: LAKERS LOSE AT HOME TO THE PISTONS, WHO SWEPT THEM.”
