Emotions were high for the Cavaliers late Monday after they lost the NBA Finals to the Warriors.

Coach Tyronn Lue was extremely honest in how the team was doing, saying feelings were "raw" after the Game 5 loss and that he felt the devastation, too.

"We had a moment. I broke down so I couldn't really finish my speech," Lue said. "A lot of guys cried because they wanted it bad. And that's all you can ask. If you give all your effort and all the fight and all the heart you got, it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to win, and that's what's tough about sports."

The Cavaliers had an eight-point lead at one point in the middle of the second quarter, but the Warriors went on a 21-2 run that kept them in the lead for the rest of the way.

In Lue's second year leading the team, he had yet to deal with as big of a loss as this one.

"My first time being in this position as a head coach and you get the guys here and you play the Finals and you're starting to play better and play well, and then you look up and the season's over," Lue said. "And it just is tough for me because I know all the fight these guys have and how much they wanted to win. And when you come up short like this, it's just tough."
