Intro:
Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James and coach David Blatt preview game three of their NBA Eastern Conference finals clash with the Atlanta Hawks. The Cavs lead 2-0 and need just two more wins in the best-of-seven series to qualify for the finals against either the Golden State Warriors or the Houston Rockets.
Script:
SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
"Even though they're (Atlanta Hawks) a great offensive team, we just try to keep them off balanced, keep pressure on them, make them take contested shots, when they drive, just try to get contests. LIke I said, versus a high powered offence like them, you really can't stop them, you just try to contain them, try to make it tough on them."
SOUNDBITE (English): David Blatt, Cleveland Cavaliers
"Well there's a lot of things that go into limiting any team. And certainly a team with Atlanta's offensive quality, you're never going to take everything away from anyone. But particularly in a series when you have time to see the team many, many times and you have time to prepare, you do lock in on doing certain things that you feel will help you lower their efficiency. So far we've been able to do that. The task and the challenge will be to do that going forward."
