Lebron James yelled at Kevin Love, but he didn't leave a high five hanging
UPDATE: It was too good to be true. As Deadspin points out, the moment wasn't a high-five but, rather a heated discussion between LeBron and Love about defensive play. The original post, though, is preserved below.
Poor Kevin Love.
He had a rough night in the Cleveland Cavaliers' Game 5 victory over the Golden State Warriors, scoring only 2 points, making 3 rebounds and just giving 1 assist in nearly 33 minutes on the floor.

Meanwhile, Lebron James scored 41 points and pulled down 16 rebounds. Teammate Kyrie Irving also scored 41 -- the first time in NBA history two teammates scored more than 40 points in the same Finals game.
Plus, the Cavs are playing to avoid elimination. So maybe it's understandable why Lebron was all business when Love, in a celebratory mood, tried to high-five his superstar teammate only to be met with a lecture.
Twitter, as is its wont, had some fun with the moment.

The Warriors still lead the series three games to two with Game 6 in Cleveland on Thursday night.
