Update: Apple's Eddy Cue Was Not Talking to Rihanna
Rihanna and Eddy Cue weren’t duking it out after all.
There was something that looked like a heated exchange last night during the first game of the NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors. And no, the would-be confrontation didn’t involve any of the players on the court.

He noted:
Game 2 of the NBA Finals is Sunday, June 4 beginning at 5 p.m. PDT from the Oracle Center in Oakland. The Warriors led the seven-game series, 1-0.
