Noah is one of those rare NBA players who takes each loss as if it will crush him, which actually might be unhealthy in a league that plays 82 games. But at least he cares.

Here's the entire transcript of Noah's interview on what happened:

Question: What happened with LeBron?

Noah: Nothing.

[...]

Q: You're obviously very competitive, so was it just too much for you to take when he's dancing?

Noah: I guess.

Q: It seems like you can't help make yourself unpopular in these visiting arenas?

Noah: I don't care.

[...]

Q: Is this loss so frustrating because you were playing well and then it got away from you?

Noah: It just sucks to lose. That's the toughest thing. We can't compete for 48 minutes. We have to find a way to win games because this losing thing is not a good look. It's not what anybody in this locker room expected. We have to find a way to start winning games because this losing thing is really frustrating.

Q: Did LeBron show disrespect?

Noah: I don't know.
