J.R. Smith's in-game hug 'embarrassed' Tyronn Lue, but Cavs moving on

It was as puzzling a sequence as you'll see in the NBA.

Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith stepped out of bounds to greet Bucks guard Jason Terry during Tuesday night's game, allowing Tony Snell to get an uncontested dunk.

"It was an embarrassing moment," Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said Wednesday, via ESPN.com. "Me and J.R. talked about it. We're just going to move forward. We had a discussion about it, he felt embarrassed about it. It was an embarrassing play. We talked about it. We're moving on."

The Cavs lost the game 118-101, suffering their third loss in 16 games.
