Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens has gushed about LeBron James throughout a first-round series with the Cleveland Cavaliers. James volleyed that praise after Cleveland’s Game 2 triumph on Tuesday night.
During an on-court interview with TNT, James said of a resilient Boston squad, “That’s a very well-coached team. Very well coached, very well prepared.”
That’s noteworthy praise on the same day that Stevens finished fourth in the coach of the year balloting. James complimented Boston, which rallied from 14 down in the second half to make things interesting before the Cavaliers posted a 99-91 triumph to take a 2-0 series lead.
