Cavs Defeat Raptors 122-100

In Cleveland’s 104-79 win over Orlando on Saturday, Kyrie Irving said his surgically repaired left knee felt good after he hit the floor for a loose ball.

“The game was so fun”, Irving said.

Cavaliers: Cleveland is 9-1 against the Atlantic Division this season. Irving dominated from there, scoring the game’s next 10 points. The final margin was Cleveland’s biggest lead. All eight of J.R. Smith’s field goals were from behind the arc. “I think there was a gasp of air, not only from my teammates and the staff, but also everyone in the building”.

Washington has lost back-to-back games and four of their last five games. Washington made 14 of 24 3-pointers, but only 17 of 27 from the free-throw line. The Raptors are coming off a 115-113 loss to Chicago on Sunday and are beginning a five-game road trip of their own.

Cleveland led 62-50 at halftime and 73-55 early in the bombs-away third quarter.

The Cavs travel to Washington on Wednesday night to take on the Wizards.

Crowder, who shot eight-for-13, surpassed his career high set December 18 against the Atlanta Hawks. That said, isn’t it insane how much has changed in a year? “He was hitting some tough, tough shots”.

The 85 points from the previous meeting represented the fewest by a Wizards opponent this season.

That seems like a long time ago, but LeBron still likes sticking it to the Wizards, averaging 25.8 points against his old nemeses since returning to Cleveland. “We are able to get so many open looks and they put us in great position to make shots and we probably do the same for them”.

He helped the Spurs shake off the absence of forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was held out for rest, and point guard Tony Parker, who is nursing a sore right hip.

With fifteen wins to their name so far this season the Wizards are a fair way further down the Eastern Conference table in twelfth. Kyrie Irving is dishing 4.2 assists and Tristan Thompson is grabbing 10 rebounds.

“I had some good, I had some bad moments”, James said. “It’s always great seeing her for sure”.

The Wizards reached the Eastern Conference semifinals in each of the past two seasons. “You could have an All-Star Game at his house and he’s an automatic All-Star”. “I thought we scored enough to win the game…. It’s an opportunity just to try to get back on the right path”.

Jennings, who missed the first 31 games while recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon, scored 12 second-half points for the Pistons. Gary Neal and Nene both came back from injury tonight and they didn’t disappoint.

However, he was not with any National Football League team this season after being waived by the Bengals on September 5, so Wednesday’s signing with the Texans was welcome news.

Speaking of restricted minutes, it seems head coach David Blatt has forgotten all about that.

In other games, NY beat Miami 98-90 to end a streak of eight consecutive losses to the Heat, Oklahoma City topped Memphis 112-94, Dallas defeated New Orleans 100-91 despite resting four starters, and San Antonio routed Utah 123-98 to match its best start in team history. Washington concludes its three-game homestand on Friday against Toronto.
