Bring on the boos: Cavaliers flash Steelers logo, Big Ben on scoreboard
The Pittsburgh Steelers are making their presence felt in the NBA Finals.
The Cavaliers posted a picture of the Steelers logo and Ben Roethlisberger to draw boos from the crowd whenever a Golden State player took to the free throw line, according to various reports on social media.

The tactic may have worked as the Warriors shot just 7-of-12 from the line in Tuesday's Game 3 loss, although that may have had more to do with the fact that neither Stephen Curry nor Klay Thompson attempted a free throw in the 96-91 loss.
Not everyone was hostile toward Pittsburgh inside Quicken Loans Arena, as several Steelers players were in attendance, including Antonio Brown and Will Allen. Brown had a very good view of the action, as illustrated by his Twitter posts during the game.
