James loses his cool as Cavaliers pushed to the brink
(Reuters) - With his latest tilt at a third NBA title seemingly slipping away with Friday's Game Four defeat to Golden State, Cleveland's LeBron James allowed his frustrations to boil over onto the court.
James wrestled with Golden State’s Draymond Green and barked at league MVP Stephen Curry in the closing minutes of a 108-97 loss that pushed him to the brink of a familiar Finals downfall.
James and Green got tangled up with just under three minutes remaining, and as the Warriors forward fell to the floor James stepped over him.
The two exchanged words as a heated James had to be held back by team mates.
His frustrations seemed to reach boiling point in the fourth quarter on Friday when he initiated trash-talk with Curry, who has replaced him as the face of the NBA.
Having been beaten for the title by the San Antonio Spurs in 2014 and overpowered by the Warriors last year, another Finals failure would drop James to a career 2-5 record in NBA Championship series.

(Is James a whiner and not a winner?)
