Pacers center Lavoy Allen added a personal touch to the hardwood at Quicken Loans Arena, home of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Prior to Game 2 of their first-round matchup, Allen used a Sharpie to inscribe “Go Pacers!!!” on a corner of the court. According to a Cavaliers source, employees sign all four corners of the floor at the annual employee rally before the start of the playoffs. It’s one way for the employees to wish the team good look and for them to feel like they are in it together.
WISH-TV sports reporter Charlie Clifford captured the moment:

A security guard saw this happen and afterwards, he worked to scrub it off with his foot.
Don’t take this too seriously. Allen has a great sense of humor and is a prankster. This was well played.
