The bar fight of a basketball game was a possible preview of this season Eastern Conference Finals. As the game started, only #BeastsOfTheEast was trending. As the second half started, HeatVsPacers was Twitter’s top trend. Then, as the fourth quarter started, #MIAvsIND joined the party.

“Beasts of the East” will be what fans remember the name of the game as. Both sides let their beasts loose as LeBron James and Paul George battled for offensive dominance. According to Twitter, George won:

With just over one minute left, the game was separated by one point. Just as Twitter predicted, it was destined to go down to the wire.

When the “Beasts of the East” game finally ended in the Pacers favor 84-83, there was no telling who the better team was. Last season it was Miami. At points this season it’s looked like the Pacers. As we get into the playoffs we’ll found out for sure.
