Intro:

The Cleveland Cavaliers spoke to the media on Wednesday, 10 June, a day after defeating the Golden State Warriors 96-91 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven NBA Finals

Script:

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

"Obviously I'm not getting much sleep. You guys can probably see I'm not getting much sleep right now, but I'm okay with that. I'm okay with not sleeping to be able to prepare myself and mentally keep myself intact on what's the main objective for me right now, and that is to make sure that my guys are laser sharp, get myself mentally prepared, physically prepared to go out and battle. It's been a difficult challenge, a tough challenge, but I knew that. Being the sole leader of a team and a franchise, it's taxing, but I accept the challenge. I accept it all, and I'm okay with it."

SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers Forward, on Matthew Dellavedova:

"Well, Delly comes from a rugby background. And if any of you guys ever have an opportunity to ever watch a rugby game, you see how tough it is, and that's what it's about. He just - he brings it all. Everything that he has, he lays out on the floor. I think he dove on the ground last night, an NBA Finals record, six times (laughing). Last night, and last night he was on the ground again after the game in the hospital, so you could probably say seven times. He gives us everything that he has, and we all appreciate it as his brothers in the lineup beside him."
