There was an interesting exchange between Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer and Cavaliers star LeBron James during Game 1 of their playoff series on Monday.

During an early break in the action, Budenholzer and James could be seen conversing near the Hawks bench.

Budenholzer would not reveal the exact nature of the non-heated conversation. He did offer some insight into the exchange.

“He’s very engaged,” Budenholzer said before Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series on Wednesday. “He’s very aware of what both teams are doing. We like to be aware of what they are doing too. There was some of that gamesmanship of what this play is or isn’t. He’s pretty in tune with all that.”
