NEW YORK -- LeBron James said he was not trying to make a statement in deciding not to stay at President-elect Donald Trumps SoHo hotel, the Cleveland Cavaliers residence while they are in town.Its just my personal preference, James said as he talked to reporters from a baseline seat at Madison Square Garden with Cleveland preparing to play the New York Knicks later Wednesday night. At the end of the day, I hope hes one of the best presidents ever for all of our sake -- my family, for all of us. But its just my personal preference. It would be the same if I went to a restaurant and decided to eat chicken and not steak.James made his comments just hours after Trump was named Time magazines person of the year for 2016, with the cover of the publication showing the real estate tycoon looking over his shoulder while seated on an armchair with the caption President of the Divided States of America.James said it was the first time in his career that he chose to stay somewhere other than the primary team hotel on a road trip. A team source told ESPN.com that the alternative hotel -- which about half of the Cavs roster was excused to stay at should they choose to -- was located close enough to the Trump SoHo that both factions of Clevelands traveling party were able to meet and take the same bus over to the shootaround.I rode the bus like I do every [shootaround], like what Ive done for 14 straight years, James said. With my teammates, coaching staff and everybody else that travels with us.Cavs coach Tyronn Lue, who did stay at the Trump SoHo, was asked how unique of a situation it was for his team.Is it odd? I mean, its not normal, Lue said. But considering the circumstances, thats what we have. Thats not my main objective. My main thing is just trying to get this team to stay on track and playing the right way and trying to get back to playing Cleveland Cavaliers basketball.The Cavs entered into a contract with the Trump SoHo for their regular season trips prior to the presidential election because the hotel could guarantee the team a block of rooms in the spring should Cleveland end up playing either the Knicks or the Brooklyn Nets in the playoffs.

Backrower Liam Messam scored a 62nd-minute try and fullback Robbie Robinson added another six minutes later as the Chiefs came from 22-12 down to edge out the Brumbies, who were attempting to win their third Super Rugby crown and first in nine years. Wallabies inside centre Christian Lealiifano scored a try, added the conversion and kicked five penalties to score all of the Brumbies points, guiding them to a 16-9 lead at halftime. But the Brumbies wilted in the last quarter after having played in South Africa in the semifinals last weekend, and the Chiefs became the first back-to-back champions since the Bulls in 2010. The Chiefs played poorly in the first half in the face of a strong, composed and well-organized Brumbies team, which was well prepared by 2007 World Cup-winning Springboks coach Jake White. Though they travelled more than 23,000 kilometres in the two weeks before the match, the Brumbies looked sharp and energetic until the final minutes of the match. Lealiifanos converted try in the last moments of the first half gave the Brumbies a deserved halftime lead, and they were still the better, more constructive team through the first 20 minutes of the second spell. The Chiefs were plagued by errors and struggled to develop the momentum they needed to strongly press the Brumbies defence. But again, in the statistical keynote to their season, they managed to score tries even when deprived of a steady supply of possession. No team in the competition had less ball throughout the season and none scored more tries. Messam, from an attacking scrum, then Robinson from an opportunistic midfield break, scored tries that turned the match in the Chiefs favour. The champions edged ahead with Aaron Crudens conversion of Robinsons try, then made their lead five points with another penalty to Cruden eight minutes from fulltime. That was just enough to allow them to hold out the Brumbies frantic finish and set up a cacophony of cow bells, the instruments with which fans in this dairy farming region signal their approval. "It was tough," said Messam, the Chiefs co-captain who won the man-of-the-match award. "We had to grind it out and really play for 80 minutes. The Brumbies really took it to us, and I was proud of the boys that we didnt get frustrated and managed to get the win. "They frustrate the heck out of you and get points. We needed cool heads going into the second half, and we came home strong." Lealliifano scored the first points in the fifth minute after flanker Peter Kimlin broke strongly out of defence on a long run that forced the Chiefs to scramble back in defence.dddddddddddd Lealiifano added another more testing penalty two minutes later from 35 metres and a wide angle. Cruden missed a chance to reduce the margin from a penalty in the 19th minute, and Lealiifano soon kicked his third goal. "They matched us tonight and congratulations to them," Lealiifano said. "I was hoping (the Brumbies try) would be a bit of a match-turner. "But the Chiefs came back and kept fighting and fighting and the same with our boys. We stuck in their right to the end, but just couldnt come up with the result." Cruden kicked penalties in the 23rd, 26th and 32nd minutes to bring the teams level at 9-9 only 12 minutes after the Brumbies had enjoyed a 9-0 lead. From a Chiefs lineout in the 39th minute, Lealiifano swept onto a loose pass, claimed an intercept and dashed more than 30 metres through tattered defence to score a try that was upheld on review. After halftime, Lealiifano kicked his fourth penalty and fifth goal of the night to make the score 19-9. Cruden replied almost immediately, adding his fourth penalty but the Chiefs remained largely rudderless. The Brumbies attacked strongly and winger Clive Rathbone sawed through the Chiefs defence after seizing a short kick by Jesse Mogg in the 54th. Rathbone was brought down a meter from the line and, though the Brumbies carried the ball over the line from an ensuing ruck, they were unable to ground the ball. They led 22-12 after Lealifano kicked his fifth penalty. Then the Chiefs rally began. They wheeled an attacking scrum and Messam dashed drove low though the Brumbies goal-line defence for a try that cut the lead to 22-17. Six minutes later, Bundee Aki broke through the defence with a strong midfield run. He was brought down just inside the 22 but the Chiefs quickly won the ball and moved it for Robinson to weave through and score. Cruden converted to give the Chiefs their first lead of the match at 24-22. He added a penalty - his sixth goal from 10 attempts - two minutes later to make the lead 27-22. The Brumbies needed to score a try to win the match and, though they tried desperately they were held out by tenacious Chiefs defence. "Were extremely proud of this group," Brumbies captain Ben Mowen said. "One thing that has been evident right from the start is that every challenge you put in front of them, they take it head on. "Although we fell short, we fell short to a very good Chiefs side." ' ' '
