Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) David Blatt, Cleveland Cavaliers coach (on LeBron James' ability to change his role during the game)

"You know, if you asked LeBron I'm sure he would answer this way. Part of what he is doing so well has to do with his team mates reacting and responding to him in the proper way. And certainly his greatness is evident but the other guys are completing him and that's what you want from a team and that's what you want from a team that plays with such a great player. They've got to position themselves properly, they've got to move properly, they've got to finish the plays, they've got to recognise when and how to get him into the situations where he can do what he does or he can help them do what they do and I think our guys have grown together with him during the course of the year and they really know how to play off him well."

SOUNDBITE (English) Mike Budenholzer, Atlanta Hawks coach:

"You know, when you combine really good perimeter shooting - I think they were at 64 percent at the half - with really good penetration, a good attack game, that's when you become very difficult to guard. So we've got to be better at containing the penetration, we've got to be better at keeping people in front of us, and then when they do kick it we've got to be better at getting out to shooters."

SOUNDBITE (English) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers forward:

"Well we learned from Game 1. In Game 1 we had a big lead and we decided to play the clock and that was my fault. I took that straight to the head and I knew that if I got that opportunity again I wouldn't let it happen again. So we had the same thing happen again today and we just kept our foot on the gas. We had early shots on the shot clock and we took them. If not, we executed and we were able to continue our roll. We continued to defend as well and that was very important."
