Tyronn Lue gave a brief postgame speech after the Cleveland Cavaliers' Game 2, 33-point loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Lue typically addresses his team the next morning to eliminate the raw emotion of the moment.
Lue walked towards the middle of the locker room and called for the team to bring it in and extend their arms but assistant coach Phil Handy erupted into a profanity-laced tirade at the Cavaliers.
Hardy is typically quiet, which left the team shocked. Handy's outburst lasted a few minutes as he questioned their toughness and lack of fight.
"He's an Oakland boy, and we went out to Oakland and got our ass whipped twice," Richard Jefferson said. "He was pissed off. He has to show up there every day. It means a lot to him, it means a lot to us, and for us to go out there and play the way we did was embarrassing. Look, we personally feel that no team should handle us the way they did the last two games, and it was disrespectful."
Handy's message stayed with the Cavaliers leading up to Game 3.
