Michael Eaves was in the midst of delivering a report Wednesday ahead of Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs when a bug decided to fly into his mouth.

Eaves had an obvious look of discomfort on his face as he struggled to get his words out, eventually explaining to "SportsCenter" anchor Lisa Kerney what was going on.

"I'm literally choking on a bug, Lisa. Can you believe that?" he said. "National television. I'm choking on a bug."
