Finally, he broke out the scissors and removed the rest.

“Excuse me”, he said to a reporter standing in the way. Definitely didn’t mean to throw it at a fan.
LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have pushed the NBA Finals to their limit after beating the Warriors 115-101 Thursday in Game 6 in Cleveland.
So to sum up, that’s $750 for a ticket that originally cost $5 with proceeds going to charity to watch a game (albeit the biggest game in Cleveland sports history in almost 20 years) on a huge scoreboard. They missed their first seven shots, hit only 5-of-22 from the floor in the period and just 1-of-9 from 3-point range.
“It was a long walk [back to the locker room], because you don’t want to foul out and don’t wanna leave your teammates out there”, said Curry, who said he’d never been ejected from a game before.
The individual games haven’t been close but the series has been very compelling.
Game 7 of the NBA Finals tips off Sunday night at 5 p.m. PT on ABC.
“It’s LeBron being LeBron”, Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said.
“It hasn’t gone our way the last two”, Curry said. “We haven’t splintered at all”. James scored 14 points in the fourth before checking out to a thunderous ovation in the final minutes as Cleveland fans chanted “Cavs in 7!” and “See you Sunday!” For starters, the team that accomplished all of that may not have splintered, but it’s come apart in other ways. It was a handful, followed by an earful, from the King, who lit Curry up with some trash talk – the contents of which Curry wouldn’t divulge.
“Just didn’t go our way”, Curry said.
Curry apologized to the fan hit by the mouthpiece – Andrew Forbes, son of minority owner Nate Forbes – and the two shook hands.
“He had every right to be upset”, said Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors will host the Cavs for Game 7 on Sunday.
She deleted the tweet, but not before it went viral, and the criticisms came raining down like Kyrie Irving jump shots. A title would validate everything they’ve done since they started 24-0, since Curry became the first unanimous MVP in league history, since the organization itself was propped up as a model sports franchise. Curry finished with 30 points, Klay Thompson had 25 and Draymond Green, back from a one-game suspension, had 10 rebounds. At one point in the fourth quarter he had scored the Cavs’ last 18 points.
A tougher night for the Golden State Warriors. Yet James can give us a moment even Jordan couldn’t provide.
He has answered the call when his team has needed him most.
Ayesha had earlier complained about Warriors’ family members being stuck on a bus prior to Thursday night’s Game 6.
They’ve lost Harrison Barnes to the witness protection program. “But, once again, they won the game in the first quarter”. “But I immediately kind of started thinking about Game 7, and just the opportunity we’ve got – one game to win it all – and we’ve got to take advantage of it”.
LeBron James’ family, closest friends and some hangers-on who wanted a glimpse waited for him in the arena’s hallways like they have since he was an unequalled OH high school star, the best player on any court. “We don’t go 1-on-1 at each other a lot, but it’s a pretty competitive feeling out there with the situation of playing in The Finals and playing for something special”. We’ll have our home crowd.

“One more game left”, James said.
