The NBA world has been mourning the loss of Erin Popovich, the wife of Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, since the team announced she died Wednesday.
While many players and coaches expressed their condolences on social media after learning of the news, some were made aware of the tragedy while in interviews.
TNT sideline reporter Allie LaForce told LeBron James of the news during their postgame interview shortly after he posted 46 points and 12 rebounds to help his Cavaliers tie their series against the Pacers at 1-1. James, who has faced Popovich three times in the NBA Finals so far throughout his career, took a moment to collect his thoughts and then offered up an emotional response.
