Boston fans got trolled on social media for leaving early as the Celtics were blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 of their second-round series.
After Boston dominated Game 1 with a 120-95 win, the Cavaliers flipped the barrel on the Celtics with a 118-94 victory to even the series at 1-1.
With just over five minutes left in the game, fans on social media mocked Bostonians for clearing the stands early. One user posted a clip of their exit and wrote: ‘Celtics fans going home with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Boston Sports fans are the most fraudulent sports fanbase ever.’
‘Is there a fire drill???’ another responded.
Additionally, a picture of a Celtics fan with a tattoo of the word ‘doubt’ with the last three letters crossed out went viral as the Cavaliers cruised towards a victory.
