LeBron James: 'Injuries cost Cleveland Cavaliers'

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James believes that the injuries suffered by a number of his teammates cost the side in the NBA Finals.

LeBron James has said that losing a number of players to injury made it difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers throughout the NBA Finals and earlier in the playoffs.

Center Anderson Varejao was ruled out in December with a torn Achilles, while forward Kevin Love suffered a shoulder injury in the first-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics, and Kyrie Irving fractured his knee in game one of the Finals.

The forward told reporters: "Losing Andy, one of the heartbeats of our team, another playmaker for our team. Then you lose Kev, an All-Star, and the you lose Kyrie, another All-Star.

"Tried as much as we could to make up for those guys, but that's a lot of talent sitting in suits. I've had a lot of playoff runs, been on both ends, and I know one thing, that you've got to be healthy.

"You've also got to be playing great at the right time. You've got to have a little luck. And we were playing great, but we had no luck and we weren't healthy."

The Golden State Warriors wrapped up a 4-2 series win over the Eastern Conference champions.
