The Cleveland Cavaliers closed out the Atlanta Hawks tonight, completing the four-game sweep and advancing to their second consecutive Eastern Conference Finals.

After the game, Hawks’ coach Mike Budenholzer spoke to the media, and it’s customary to begin by congratulating the opposing team. Filled with emotion, Coach Bud didn’t congratulate the Cavs and seemed ready to leave and get away from the media when asked his last question.

Just as he stood up, he remembered what he forgot to do, and sat back down, and congratulated Tyronn Lue and the Cavaliers for the outstanding series they had. Budenholzer was clearly apologetic about the incident, and it was a nice gesture of respect out of him.
