Pacers' radio broadcaster: Heat fans are 'losers'

Game 2 ended in disappointing fashion for the home crowd when Heat forward LeBron James uncharacteristically committed two turnovers in the final minute of the fourth quarter to help the Pacers seal a 97-93 win.

The early exit apparently delighted Indiana’s radio play-by-play broadcaster Mark Boyle, who ripped the Heat’s fans for not staying all the way through to the bitter end.
