The Cavaliers will be fine, according to their leader LeBron James.
James — who said he had “zero level of concern” after their Game 1 loss — was calm and collected at the podium following his team’s second straight defeat to the Celtics. Prior to Game 2 Tuesday, the Cavaliers had yet to drop back-to-back contests this postseason.
“I’m not going to lose sleep over it,” James said. “You go out and when you lay everything on the line, at the end of the day, you can live with that.”
Despite jumping out to an 11-point lead in the first half, Cleveland couldn’t hold on for what would have been a momentum-shifting win.
