one bottle has the grease cleaning power of three bottles of this other liquid. a drop of dawn and grease is gone. well, you don't need to know what lebron james was saying to j.r. smith at the end of regulation game one of the nba finals to know what james was saying. smith hung onto a rebound with the score tied and four seconds left, held on for 3.5 seconds. that helped sink the cavs in overtime. >> the tabloids are already letting smith have it. new york post which was his hometown paper before the trade to cleveland had this, who shot? not j.r.

>> and lebron got annoyed and abruptly ended the postgame press conference. he answered a lot of questions. and that was far from the only traumatic moment of the night. >> t.j. holmes there catching his breath at oracle arena in oakland. what was it like there? >> reporter: well, cavs, warriors, a lot of people were saying they don't even want to see this. how can you argue with what you just saw tonight? an incredible game in which we saw lebron james do, have a historical performance, and it still wasn't enough. it was a back and forth game.

of course you saw the play at the end of halftime, going into halftime. steph curry, pulls up from -- i don't know. we're in oakland. and he pulled up from like san francisco and lands one and ties the game up at halftime. but we go into the second half. another back and forth battle. we end up -- we end up going into overtime, guys in this game. lebron james puts up, again, historical numbers, ends up with more than 50 points, but that's still not enough. the warriors take game one in this cavs/warriors four. now what everyone's going to talk about is what happened at the end of the game with just seconds left. lebron and steph got into a little back and forth, a little shoving match, a little trash talking at the very end of the game. so it got a little nasty. got a little heated. it also got to the point that tristan thompson got involved in all this and got kicked out of the game with just seconds left. that's what's setting us up now, guys, for game two of cavs/warriors four. so i know people are talking about, we don't want to see this matchup again. it's such a lopsided matchup.

but that shows you why you've got one of the greatest teams ever going against one of the greatest players ever. and the result? it's drama. we can't wait for game two, which we will see on sunday, right back here at oracle arena, woo! we'll see you guys soon. >> what was that? >> woo? >> t.j. holmes giving us a howl at the end of the broadcast. >> of course this being the nba finals, the stars weren't just on the court. they were also in the stands there in oakland. ooh, tony robbins was in the house. >> i believe. >> okay. >> barry bonds. >> also check out rob lowe, adam levine was there. >> who's that one? >> in a golfing hat i guess. jeremy renner was there. >> we forgive you for that movie. >> and jon hamm was there as well. party in oakland tonight. >> tony robbins again. when we come back, "top gun 2." >> and a rare peek at katy perry backstage.
