Utah Jazz trail Cleveland Cavaliers 52-48 at halftime
I thought it was a good effort from out group tonight.
The Cavs trailed 95-86 with 7:22 remaining in the fourth before going on an 18-3 run to take control of the game.
Cavaliers head coach David Blatt praised James’ toughness as he played despite an injury.
On the initial one, Hood attempted to wrap him up in a bear hug to prevent a breakaway layup, but James still powered through the 6-foot-8, 206-pounder and scored.
At long last LeBron James is coming to Los Angeles! And when the Cavaliers needed their superstar, James was there to carry his team. “That’s something that we can learn from”. “They continue to have mixed haberdashery reviews, so we’ll have to see what happens”. That’s the type of thing that we expect from him. Kevin Love added 22 points for Cleveland, while Alec Burks led the Jazz on 24 points.
James’ new 9,350-square foot crib in California, as per Variety, is worth $21 million and is located in the for-the-uber-rich-only Brentwood Community in Los Angeles. Defensively, the Jazz yield 95.0 points per game against the opposing teams.
After getting fouled by Kris Humphries on a drive to the basket with 54.2 seconds left in the second quarter, Durant limped a bit and grabbed at the back of his left leg. Greg Monroehad 17 points and 14 rebounds in a losing cause and Giannis Antenokounmpo scored 16 for the Bucks. He leads the team verbally, gets them in the right sets, scores and facilitates and maybe most importantly has the trust and respect of LeBron.
Meanwhile, Dion Waiters scored a season and game-high 25 points on 7 of 10 shooting, including 4 of 5 from three-pointers and Serge Ibaka had 23 points and six rebounds in the win for the Thunder.
But while Anthony and Lance Thomas (off the bench) led the the Knicks in scoring, it was the rookie Porzingis who lit up the court in Toronto. It’s not to become neighbors with the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant, but it would be a strategic location for him to manage his other business interests as ESPN noted. Through the first seven games of the season, Kaun had only appeared in two, playing seven minutes of total action.
Cleveland committed 17 turnovers, resulting in 29 points. Robin Lopez had 12 points and eight rebounds before fouling out.
Yet the Jazz hung in and had opportunities to win it in the final minute.
