Ibragim Todashev’s Chechen roots and mixed martial arts background mirror that of Tsarnaev, the 26- year-old Boston bombing suspect killed in a shootout with police days after the April 15 terrorist attack. The two also had lived in the Boston area. Todashev, a 27-year-old mixed martial arts fighter, was fatally shot early Wednesday at his Orlando home during a meeting with the agent and two Massachusetts state troopers, authorities said. The agent was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life- threatening. Three law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said initial- ly that Todashev had lunged at the FBI agent with a knife. However, two of those officials said later in the day it was no longer clear what had happened. The third official had not received any new information. The FBI gave no details on why it was interested in Todashev.

Officials reviewed James’ play at the end, though it was clear he beat the clock, and the Pacers walked slowly toward their locker room, lamenting one that got away — by no fault of George’s. George was fouled by Wade on the play where the Pacers had to think they had stolen the series opener. Referee Jason Phillips said Wade hit George, and the Pacers’ star made all three free throws for the 16th lead change of the night. The final lead change came moments later. “Welcome to the Eastern Conference finals,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “Back and forth the whole way.” The final few seconds of regulation were stunning, with Ray Allen — the sixth- best free-throw shooter in NBA history — missing one that proved big, and George making a miracle happen. Trailing by two with 17.7 seconds left, the Pacers had to foul Allen, who surely would have been their last choice. But he missed one of the two free throws, and it remained a one-possession game. Indiana brought the ball into the frontcourt, called time, and then seemed to have nothing really working as the final seconds of regulation ticked away. So George simply made something happen. From way deep — from the newly applied Eastern Conference finals sticker on the side of the court, techni- cally — George connected with 0.7 seconds left, tying the game and giving Indiana life. Allen didn’t get much of a desperation shot off at the end of regulation, and to overtime the teams went. “It took an overtime to get it done,” Spoelstra said. “Glad to get that one.”
