One of the critiques of Boston’s poor play down the stretch was the ‘King’ himself, LeBron James.

James knows all about such kinds of stretches against the Warriors. They have the ability to take the game away in a matter of minutes. He suffered a lot against the Warriors during his tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers, so it could even be said that he knows better than most when it comes to making the right decisions in critical moments.
