With 34.1 seconds left in overtime of the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, LeBron James swatted away a shot by the Warriors’ Stephen Curry. James then made his point even more emphatic by then telling Curry to “get the f— out of [his] face” after Curry attempted to trash-talk him.

James was obviously frustrated by the missed opportunities of the Cavs in the closing seconds of regulation, when a missed free throw by George Hill and a brain cramp by J.R. Smith sent the game to overtime. The Warriors dominated in those five minutes and came away with a 124-114 win, with James scoring 51 on the night.
The Cavaliers will attempt to even the series when it resumes on Sunday night at Oracle Arena.
