Game 2 did not go according to plan for LeBron James or the Cavaliers.
After getting embarrassed in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Cavs were dominated by the Warriors once again in Game 2 following an ugly fourth quarter. LeBron himself had a strong game, leading his team in points, assists and rebounds (29-11-14), but he was unable to carry the Cavs to a win. Actually, he was unable to even keep the game competitive.
LeBron has shown himself to be one of the most competitive athletes on the planet, so you just know that the way the Cavs lost in Game 2 did not sit well whatsoever with the King. In fact, LeBron's frustration came out following the loss, with the Cavs star getting nervy with a reporter after being asked about the importance of winning Games 3 & 4.
You know you're in trouble when an athlete asks you to state the obvious out loud so that you may hear why they dislike your question. Yikes. As reported by Rachel Nichols, LeBron stated that he would not be taking questions at the podium on Sunday night, but clarified that it had nothing to do with the loss.
Kevin Durant and Steph Curry may have combined for 65 points on the night, and the Warriors maintained their perfect postseason record, but Twitter was pretty much exclusively buzzing about LeBron after the game. Some in favour, and some against.
It's tough to see LeBron really doing more than he already is, which is not a good sign for the Cavs or fans hoping to see a more competitive final.
