'King' James showed the feeling of having passed the page of what happened in 'Game 1': "It's a new day, I've gotten up with enthusiasm for the opportunity we have to improve today and for the opportunity we will have tomorrow," he said. Cavs player "I hope we come out with the same hardness we showed in the first match, there we made a lot of mistakes, so we have to play better," he said. Despite his 51 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, the end situations of the match deprived LeBron of taking the victory in what was "one of the toughest defeats of my career."

Questioned by the mood of his partner J.R. Smith, the protagonist of the dismissal that could cost the game to the Cavs, the forward said the guard is "one of the strongest guys" he has ever met. "Because of his personality, JR took the loss worse than anyone, but he has a amazing ability to respond as demonstrated and is very focused."
