Cavaliers extend winning streak to eight games

Williams then nailed a jumper, and after Afflalo missed on the other end, Williams finished it off with four free throws.

Saraceno said: “In the 2013-14 NBA season the league introduced these form-fitting t-shirts, if you will. Not to be worn every game but to replace normal tank tops you see pro basketball players wear”. Williams and James combined to score all but three of the Cavs’ 24 fourth quarter points.

The two-time National Basketball Association champion LeBron James got his first look at the rookie Porzingis last week when the NY Knicks visited the Cleveland Cavaliers, and tomorrow evening, the Cavs will be heading to NY for the first time in this 2015-16 National Basketball Association season to play against the Knicks.

The Hornets trailed for most of the fourth quarter but Jeremy Lamb scored eight straight points to pull the visitors within a point with 5:54 left, and they were still right in the contest with 27 seconds to go when Lamb’s 3-point attempt to tie the scores missed, and Butler hit a 22-footer to seal it.

Together we will change the world.

“I felt like the team needed it”, James said in reference to his fourth quarter effort.

A layup from James cut the Knicks lead to 82-81 with 2:39 remaining. Williams would knock down four consecutive free throws after that to round out the scoring. Cleveland struggled at the line, converting only 18 of 31 for 58 percent.

Anthony’s impressive first-half play drew praise, particularly for his 14-point first quarter.

“We have to trust our execution and continue to play as a team”, Knicks coach Derek Fisher said. The Knicks come into the game after a 95-93 loss against the Hornets and that game saw the team put in a buzzer shot at the end to win, but it ended up being too late on replay and it did not count.

Langston Galloway sadly had perhaps his worst game of the season.

Bryant, who scored 14 of his 19 points in the first half, got off to a fast start, helping the Lakers build a 19-9 lead midway through the first quarter but they quickly lost the lead as Dallas closed out the first quarter on a 22-5 run.

Once again it was a combination of suffocating second half defense, New York’s own ineptitude and James’ fourth quarter brilliance – all leading to another Wine and Gold win, the eighth straight. That basket ignited the Knicks, who went on to outscore the Cavaliers 17-11. James led the Cavaliers with 10 points, including a sterling alley-oop dunk off the baseline. But this year’s free-flowing and active offense vanished against the Knicks. He was 8-for-11 from the field in the first half, including 4-for-5 from three-point range. They travel to Milwaukee on Saturday and to Detroit on November 17.

The Cavaliers came out fast, as Smith knocked down back-to-back three pointers on passes from Love and staked the team out to a 6-0 lead over the first 1:16.

Rookie Kristaps Porzingis didn’t back down from Kevin Love in their earlier meeting in Cleveland, and he didn’t Friday night in the Garden.
