Pacers-Cavaliers Controversy Haunts NBA History
Pacers Vs Cavaliers'The Phantom Foul: The Pacers-Cavaliers Controversy That Still Haunts the NBA'
April 15, 2018 – A Game That Changed Everything
The 2018 NBA Playoffs were supposed to be LeBron James’ latest masterpiece. His Cleveland Cavaliers, battered and bruised from a chaotic regular season, were underdogs against the upstart Indiana Pacers in the first round. But what unfolded in Game 6 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse wasn’t just a battle—it was a heist. And to this day, Pacers fans swear they were robbed.
The Setup: A Series on the Edge
The Cavs and Pacers had traded blows all series. Victor Oladipo, Indiana’s newly crowned superstar, was outplaying LeBron in stretches. The Pacers had already stolen Game 1 in Cleveland, and after a Game 5 Cavs win, the series returned to Indianapolis with Indiana desperate to force a Game 7.
Then, with 3:52 left in the third quarter, it happened.
The Phantom Foul
LeBron drove hard to the basket, colliding with Pacers big man Myles Turner. The ref’s whistle blew—blocking foul on Turner. Replays showed LeBron had clearly initiated the contact, shoving Turner with his off-arm. But the call stood.
Turner, already saddled with four fouls, was forced to the bench. The Pacers’ defensive anchor was gone. The Cavs went on a run.
But the real controversy came in the fourth.
The No-Call That Still Burns
Down 95-94 with under a minute left, Oladipo stripped LeBron clean at midcourt and sprinted for what should have been a game-sealing dunk. But the whistle blew again—loose ball foul on Oladipo.
Replays showed zero contact. The crowd erupted in fury. Pacers coach Nate McMillan nearly stormed the court. The Cavs got the ball back, and LeBron hit a dagger three to seal the win.
The Aftermath: Conspiracy or Incompetence?
The NBA’s Last Two Minute Report later admitted the Oladipo 'foul' was incorrect. But it was too late. The Cavs won the series in seven and marched to another Finals.
To this day, Pacers fans call it one of the worst officiated games in playoff history. Was it a simple mistake? Or did the league—consciously or not—extend the series for LeBron’s sake?
The phantom fouls of Game 6 remain one of the NBA’s darkest unsolved mysteries. And in Indianapolis, the outrage still burns.
Case still open. 🔍
