The frustration was palpable when things went south for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

LeBron James engaged in a heated back-and-forth with head coach Tyronn Lue as Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers began slipping away in the second half.

The two had jawed at each other on back-to-back possessions because Lue took issue with the superstar's shot selection, according to Yahoo Sports' Chris Mannix.

James finished with 35 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and two steals in 41 minutes, but the Cavs fell 113-105 in Portland.
