    The Boston Celtics have defeated the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. After the hard-fought overtime victory, it seems Boston fans are the only people leaving the game with a smile on their faces.

    NBA fans all over social media believe the game was won by league officials. They're calling the game rigged toward the Celtics, with one major statistic to back them up. In Game 1 of the series, Boston attempted 30 free throws, and Indiana had just 10 shots from the line.

    With the pace of play that Indiana thrives in and their ability to put pressure on the ball on both sides of the floor, this is a major impairment for the Pacers.

    Fans all over social media believe the referees kept the Celtics in the game whenever Indiana was inching away at a victory. When the Pacers gained momentum, Boston was given a whistle that would slow everything down.

    While Indiana might have fallen into the Celtics' arms late in the game, fans think league officials tampered with the outcome.
