Tipoff: Raptors at Cavaliers
And to James, the story of seeing Leah got better when he heard that Devon Still was signed to a reserve/futures contract for the 2016 season by the Houston Texans, who host the Kansas City Chiefs at NRG Stadium in the Wildcard round of the NFL Playoffs this weekend. “It was so fun to be out there”.
Russell Westbrook added 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for the Thunder. “If he continues to play the way he’s been playing, but also progress in his game over the years, he can do something that’s very special”.
“I knew she was going to be here tonight, her and Zhuri, my baby girl, are my two favorite women in the world”, James said following the win. “It just looked like the old Kyrie”.
On the season, the Orlando Magic average 100.7 points, 41.0 rebounds and 23.3 assists per game.
The Cavs led the Magic by 40 points late in the fourth quarter three weeks ago at Amway Center and led Saturday by 31 in the third and fourth quarters. However, James’ 3-pointer to close the third pushed the lead back to 90-78, and the Cavs weren’t threatened again.
Smith’s eight 3s were a season high, and Dellavedova added 11 points.
“Once they made that run, it was over”, Raptors forward Patrick Patterson said.
They could rise quickly up what has been a pretty even conference this year if they get on a good streak of wins though, and a second win over the conference leaders would be a great way to start. The starters combined for 65 points, 11 assists and 34 rebounds. Love, who didn’t participate in the morning shootaround because he wasn’t feeling well, played 33 minutes and grabbed nine rebounds. He turned a 12-point lead entering the fourth into a blowout that allowed James to sit the final 12 minutes. So when James was asked about Irving following his dazzling performance in the win over the Raptors, James initially hedged before later perhaps hinting at the guard’s future.
Carroll’s knee injury has forced him to play at less than 100 percent and kept him out Monday.
“You could say we match up well with them”, Cavs coach David Blatt said. “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”.
Leah Still, the daughter of National Football League defensive tackle Devon Still, was in the stands wearing LeBron James’ replica No. 23 jersey to cheer the Cleveland Cavaliers on against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.
“We came with objective tonight”, Blatt said. There was none of that first quarter woes we have seen before because the Cavaliers were keeping the opposition in front of them and helping when it was needed. “From that point on, we became good friends – good friends with Devon and good friends with Leah”.
All Cavs starters scored between 14 and 25 points in Cleveland’s highest-scoring game of the season, which featured.
Toronto point guard Kyle Lowry came up short in a bid for his fourth consecutive double-double, finishing with 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
