LeBron James has said that the Cleveland Cavaliers put in a "total team effort" to level the NBA Finals series with the Golden State Warriors.
Having lost the opening game in overtime, the Eastern Conference champions recovered from a fourth-quarter slump to secure a 95-93 win in overtime in game two at the Oracle Arena.
The four-time MVP told reporters: "I tried to give it all to my teammates. And they do a great job of giving it back to me. Total team effort. To be back in the same position we were in three days ago and to come back and even the series is big time.
"It's the grit squad right now. If you expect us to play sexy, cute basketball, that's not us right now. Everything is tough, and it has to be that for rest of series."
The Cavaliers will play their first home game of the series when the sides meet again on Tuesday.
