The Boston Celtics were big favorites for Game 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night, but they failed to get the job done in front of their home fans.
Midway through the fourth quarter, with the Celtics trailing by 24, fans could be seen exiting their seats and heading towards the exit signs at TD Garden. There were still just under five minutes left on the clock, but much of the crowd had decided it had seen enough.

Boston struggled throughout the night, shooting just 41.3% from the field and 22.9% from three-point range during what was their largest defeat of the playoffs.
With a loss all but determined midway through the final quarter, many fans Boston opted to get ahead of the postgame traffic and depart the disappointing game a bit prematurely. That didn't sit well with NBA fans on social media, however, who had plenty to say about the situation and Game 2 loss.
