Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night was an incredibly entertaining game that devolved into pure madness at the end of regulation thanks to J.R. Smith's mind-boggling blunder.The Golden State Warriors capitalized on Smith's mistake to secure a 124-114 overtime victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, despite LeBron James' superhuman effort while scoring a postseason-career-high 51 points.And in the aftermath of the surreal scene involving Smith inexplicably not knowing the score -- although he insists otherwise -- everyone not surprisingly had an opinion on the insanity, including Kevin Durant, who actually played an integral role in the crazy manner in which things played out. The scene played out after Cavaliers guard George Hill was fouled by Klay Thompson with 4.7 seconds left in regulation and the Warriors up 107-106. Hill made the first free throw but clanked his second attempt. Smith came up with a clutch rebound but shockingly dribbled the ball out towards mid-court before passing the ball as time
