Hot-handed Cavs sink Hornets as Frye scores 20

James had 27 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, and Kevin Love finished with 14 points and 16 rebounds.

Obama called James one of the greatest players of all time and said it’s not just power and speed that make James great, but his unselfishness and work ethic. This is the second straight game that Charlotte has lost a fourth quarter lead to one of the better teams in the East. “But Frye can’t get those shots if you’re going to win”.

Leonard added 17 points while LaMarcus Aldridge scored 14 points and pulled down 12 rebounds for the Spurs. J.R. Smith, Cleveland’s most accomplished long-range launcher, is making only 36.4 percent of his 3s this season, after he connected on an even 40 percent last season.

Former player-turned-ESPN sports analyst Jalen Rose said that he would expect National Football League and NBA players to decline a Trump invitation to visit the White House.

“They lied to me”.

He fired up the champions by coming off the bench to score 20 points as Cleveland became the first team to make at least 10 three-pointers in their first nine games – surpassing the Houston Rockets’ eight in 2014-15.

Neither team could find an offensive rhythm in the third quarter, but Smith’s three 3-pointers helped the Cavaliers enter the final period leading 84-75.

Up 58-56 at halftime, Cleveland held Washington to 38 points in the second half as they pulled away. Frye’s 3-pointer off James’ assist put the Cavaliers ahead 77-74.

Charlotte forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 11 points after missing Friday’s game against Toronto with a sore back.

Cleveland play at Washington on Friday night.

The Charlotte Hornets look to avoid back-to-back losses for the first time this season as they build on their 6-2 start.

The Cavaliers are the first Cleveland team to earn a major league title since the Brown won the NFL championship in 1964; they also are the first National Basketball Association champions to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals.

A day after Trump’s shock win James weighed in on Instagram, to say “Parents and leaders of our children please let them know they can still change the world for the better!”

“It’s always great to be able to accomplish that with a great group of guys”.

“It’s about the growth of the team”, Irving said. Cleveland won the rebounding battle, 53-45, while the Hornets had just five turnovers compared to nine for the Cavaliers.

Granted, Walker extended his 20-points-or-more streak to eight games by scoring 21 Sunday. James is second with a 22.9 average. The Washington Wizards on the other hand, had two days to prepare for the defending champions after taking their first win the last three games.
