Intro:

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks met with the media on Monday at their practices in Ohio.
Cleveland leads Atlanta 3-0 in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers Forward:

"We just haven't been whole and since the first round obviously and then our all-star point guard (Kyrie Irving) goes down. So, it's been a very tough task for myself and the guys that have been in the line up. But they've done a great job of accepting the challenge and for me, I just try to lead those guys the best way I know how on everything single night."

SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers Forward

(On game 4)

"You play it as you played the last three games, the first three wins. You don't add to much more pressure to it, you just go out, trust what you've been doing over the first three wins and you apply it to the fourth one."

SOUNDBITE (English): David Blatt, Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach

(On LeBron James battling through cramps and injuries)

"LeBron (James) is a very, very professional guy that is, not only does he study the game but he studies the ways that he can improve himself physically and care for himself physically. He's surrounded by great people who help him. And when you're playing that many minutes at that level of intensity, you're going to experience things of that nature. It's not uncommon. And he fought through it courageously last night and brilliantly I might add, but he'll be ready."

SOUNDBITE (English): Jeff Teague, Atlanta Hawks Guard

(On bouncing back from Game 3 loss)

"Yeah, we know we can play them, we know we can compete at a high level. We know we can beat this team. Just a tough loss last night and we just have to bounce back."

SOUNDBITE (English): Paul Milsap, Atlanta Hawks Forward

(On coming back from being down 3-0 in the series)

"The only way we do it is just getting out there playing. I'm not worried about the situation. I'm not worried about the record right now. Get out there and put our best foot forward and see what happens."
