ESPN's Rachel Nichols caught up with Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James shortly after the final buzzer of Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Friday. Nichols asked LeBron about what he told teammate Anthony Davis just moments earlier, but as it turns out, the three-time NBA champ was not in a very sharing mood.
LeBron had a very brief, two-word response to Nichols' query:
"In house."

As you can see, LeBron James made an effort to keep his post-game conversation with Davis private. He even used a towel to cover his mouth so as to avoid any lip-reading. James was so intent on keeping the message to themselves, that he was so quick to brush off Nichols' query.
We will no longer speculate as to what James whispered in Davis' ear, but what we can say is that these two are keeping their eyes on the prize.
With their 124-114 win over a shorthanded Miami side on Friday, L.A. is now just two wins away from winning the title. That's potentially going to be the 18th title in Lakers franchise history, and number four for LeBron.
One of the more interesting narratives during what has turned out to be a lopsided series thus far is who's going to win the Finals MVP. Clearly, LeBron and Davis are the top two candidates in this respect. Both have been playing at an elite level, and their opponents have had no answer for either of them.
Let's not get too ahead of ourselves, though, as the Lakers are just 2-0 up in the series. There's still a long way to go here, and there's no doubt that this is exactly the type of mindset LeBron James and AD will be coming in with for Game 3 on Sunday.
