CLEVELAND (AP) Mike Brown happily slid into his normal seat to coach Steve Kerr’s left for Game 2 of the NBA Finals. For the first time in weeks the Warriors were whole again.
Brown has moved before – not always so willingly – and over the next few days he’ll return to a familiar place.
Golden State’s well-liked top assistant, whose first two stints as a head coach were to nurture a young LeBron James and then pamper Kobe Bryant, is heading to Cleveland, the city that shaped him more than any other.
It’s where he was hired twice and fired twice by the Cavaliers, who are paying him until 2020.
