Larry Brown was taken from Quicken Loans Arena on a stretcher following New York's loss in Cleveland. He appeared alert and was sitting upright with oxygen tubes in his nose as he was wheeled out to an emergency vehicle.

Team spokesman Jonathan Supranowitz said Brown was examined by Cavaliers team doctors after leaving the bench in the third quarter. Brown's vital signs were "stable," but because his symptoms came on so quickly, doctors felt it was best that he go to the hospital for further tests and observation.
