The author uses inflammatory rhetoric when Brown says 'I don't never win s---.' This is an example of a first-person appeal to pity. The author also makes several dichotomous depictions by contrasting the Celtics' victory with Indiana's loss, such as 'It was a fitting victory for the Celtics, one that saw several players take their turns playing a part. For the Pacers, it was yet another game that will leave them with regrets over how this series played out.'
][author] The Pacers, playing for a second straight game without All-NBA guard Tyrese Haliburton, certainly gave Boston all it could handle. After taking a 9-point lead on a Nembhard and-1 layup in the fourth quarter, T.J. McConnell missed a completely uncovered layup with 8:35 remaining that would’ve pushed Indiana’s lead to double digits. Instead, Boston closed the game with a 20-8 run to complete the sweep, marking the third time in four games Boston pulled out a game it had trailed in the fourth quarter. [[/]

The author makes an appeal to authority by stating that officials saw the play otherwise in regards to the flagrant foul call. However, this does not negate the fact that it was a textbook flagrant foul with unnecessary and reckless contact to an opponent's head.
