STEPH Curry has an explanation as to why LeBron James followed him back to the bench during a sequence of Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Tuesday night.
A viral clip appeared to show James following Curry during the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers 117-112 win over the Golden State Warriors.
During the scene, Curry exited the game and was shown to be high-fiving coaches and teammates as he sat down on the bench.
LeBron appeared to speak to Steph, who never made eye contact until the Lakers star stepped away and resumed to the action on the court.
The Warriors’ bench also paid attention to the court rather than James.
After the Warriors’ loss, Curry spoke to reporters about the second-quarter moment.
