EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers) guard Steve Blake (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/1994/steve-blake) was the unsung hero of his team's first-round series victory over the Denver Nuggets (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/den/denver-nuggets), scoring 19 points in Game 7.
But he learned quickly how a town can turn on him after he missed a potential game-winning 3 in the Lakers' 77-75 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/okc/oklahoma-city-thunder) on Wednesday.
After the game, both the Twitter feeds of Blake and his wife, Kristen, were inundated with criticism ranging from curse word-laden rants to threats.
"I hope your family gets murdered," read one tweet that Kristen Blake re-tweeted along with a single comment: "Wow."
