James scores 25 to lead Cavs over Hornets again, 95-90

LeBron James had 25 points and 13 rebounds, extending his personal run of dominance against the Charlotte Hornets by leading the Cavaliers to a 95-90 victory Friday night.

BUCKS: The NBA suspended Coach Jason Kidd for one game without pay for aggressive conduct toward a referee.

Jahlil Okafor had 25 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks for Philadelphia and thoroughly outplayed No. 1 overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns, who played just 19 minutes because of foul trouble. “It’s just an observation”, Blatt said per NBA.com. 500 on the road, improving to 4-4 this season. “He didn”™t like the intensity or physicality of Wednesday”™s loss at the Toronto Raptors, then was away from his family on Thanksgiving and watched his beloved Dallas Cowboys get dismantled by the Carolina Panthers.

“It’s indicative of how we’ve been playing all year”, he said. “That’s what makes it so hard”.

The offense, though, was once again was run through team-mate Kevin Love’s 21 points and 13 rebounds. I think we’ve gotten greedy, but a good greedy. That’s not only a fourth quarter thing, that’s a game-long thing. “It was just working well for us”.

“We might go up there and we might play like gangbusters up there”, Bryant said Sunday in Los Angeles. “They addressed it. It’s not about what you say, it’s what you do”.

The sorry Sixers led by nine points midway through the fourth quarter and looked like they were finally going to win a game this season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers roster is set and Lebron James needs help to win the National Basketball Association championship.

Phoenix was averaging 106.5 points per game, but was held to season-lows in the first half (34) and total points and committed a season-high 28 turnovers. Smith extended the lead to four on a 3 from the right wing.

The Hornets cut the lead to two on Jeremy Lamb’s jumper and had a chance to take the lead with 20 seconds left, but Batum missed a contested three-pointer from the top of the key.

James, bent on leaving little time left for the timeout-less Nets, pounded his dribble for about 10 seconds before driving to the lane and knocking down a floater to put Cleveland ahead 90-88.

The Cavaliers came out flat, connecting on 31 percent from the field to produce 17 points in the opening quarter. The Cavs have made at least 11 3-pointers in six of their last seven games.

Pacers 104, Bulls 92: Paul George scored 33 points, C.J. Miles 16 and host IN beat Chicago for its season-high fourth straight win.

Magic coach Scott Skiles was left in no doubt about James’ place in the pantheon of legends following his latest showing.

However, James is not making any excuses and they have time to energize with a day off. “It’s not an excuse”.

“I don’t try to analyze everything”, Hollins said. James gave the example of National Football League in which no player is compared with others as is the case in NBA when there is always a comparison going on whether Kobe Bryant or Jordan or James who is the best of them, there should be no comparisons and we should be enjoying the games rather than comparing the players.
