Moe MotonJan 12, 2018

If there's one person in the NBA who can cause Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James to react to antics on the court, it's Indiana Pacers forward Lance Stephenson.Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā 

In the fourth quarter of Friday's game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, he irritated James with slight contact, which caused some confusion before Cleveland set up for an inbounds pass.

With the Pacers leading 83-82, the officials assessed a technical foul to James after he shoved his forearm into Stephenson's chest:

The feud between the two dates back to 2014, whenĀ Stephenson blew in James' earĀ during Indiana's Game 5 win over the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Pacers were also victorious Friday, beating the Cavaliers 97-95.
