Of course Twitter couldn’t go a night without clowning LeBron James, because, well, that’s what Twitter does best.

This was one well-played game and we have to give it up to the Indians, who showed some serious guts. Their fortitude was epitomized by Rajai Davis’s two-run, game-tying home run off Aroldis Chapman in the eighth inning.

It was one of the more memorable homers in recent post-season history and got its stamp of approval in the Twittersphere.
