LeBron avoids podium after Game 2 loss, but still conducts interviews
LeBron James strangely skipped the podium after his Cleveland Cavaliers lost 132-112 to the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Instead, James held his media interviews outside the locker room. He didn't share the thought process behind the move, but he did mention that his reasoning had nothing to do with wins and losses.

James looked sluggish in the second half on Sunday's loss after putting up a superhuman effort in the first two quarters. He finished with 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 14 assists for his record-tying eighth Finals triple-double in 39 minutes of work.
None of that, however, was enough to influence the result in favor of the Cavs, who fell into an 0-2 series deficit much like they did last summer. That feeling of helplessness in the face of a historically dominant Warriors team with four All-Stars must be frustrating.
