Escucha a la voz en español de los Cavaliers Rafa "El Alcalde" con la narración de la jugada del partido entre Los Cavaliers de Cleveland y Los Raptors de Toronto en El Air Canada Center de Toronto, Canada el 21 de Mayo del 2016. Los Cavs perdieron por primera vez en la post temporada al caer en Toronto 99 - 84. JR Smith tuvo su mejor partido de la serie con 22 puntos en 6 de 15 desde larga distancia. Su sexto triple le daba esperanzas a Los Cavs al cortar la ventaja de Los Raptors a 5 puntos en el tercer cuarto.

Q: What did the Raptors do to take the paint away from you guys in this game?

A: "They did a great job of going under screens and pick-and-rolls. They did a great job when we penetrated the basketball of collapsing and getting back out to shooters. We were unable to knock down shots tonight, but I thought we got shots we wanted. We were open, and we'll be ready to make them next game."

Q: LeBron, without having seen film, what were some of the reasons that you were not on your game tonight as a team?

A: "I think early on at the start of the game we weren't as physical as we should have been, especially coming into a building that we knew we had to be a little bit more physical. Understanding they were going to play with a lot of speed, a lot of force, so we didn't start the game as physical as we should have at the point of attack."

Q: J.R., you guys were trailing by as many as 18 I think in the second quarter, but did you feel like this was a game that you could come back in, and at what point did you really feel like it actually got away?

A: "I really honestly didn't feel like it got away until we came out in the fourth. Whenever we're on the court, no matter what the deficit is, I think we have a chance to come back. We have the pieces and the weapons to do that. Just a matter of staying focused mentally and just locking in. Like Bron said, we got a little lax in the first quarter to start the game, and they got too many easy buckets. We've just got to make them work harder on Monday."

Q: Was their defense doing something to you differently?

A: "I think just being aggressive but I need to match that and be just as aggressive and tonight I wasn’t, I felt like I was a little bit passive. I have to come out Monday night and just have that type of mentality and do better on that end. I feel like from a mentality standpoint it’s an easy fix."

Q: Any doubt you’ll be able to respond?

A: "No. Tough shooting night. These are the games that really build the character of our team. We’re looking forward to Game 4, preparing for it over the next two days."

Q: What was your assessment of the game?

A: "They came out and it wasn’t the same team that was in Cleveland. They came out and played hard. We knew that, and we expected that especially coming home, with the crowd so energetic. We just didn’t match their energy."
