Cavs end Hornets’ four-game streak

The disappointing performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers in their game against the Toronto Raptors left fans of the National Basketball Association team wondering how the LeBron James squad will turn their season around.

“I might go skyhook the next time”, said James, who finished with 26 points, nine rebounds and five assists to help Cleveland overcome a poor first half. Johnson made the first two free throws before Blatt called timeout, then calmly hit the third when play resumed.

He shrugged off the streak afterward. “Fortunately they were telling me the whole time, “Keep your head up, we’re going to win this game” and we did”.

Both Orangeville Prep and Athlete Institute are now 3-0 in OSBA play and look to continue with that momentum moving forward when games start up again tonight. His game winning sky hook with one second left sealed the deal and preserved the Cavs undefeated record at home. As a defender you don’t really worry about those because he has to make them.

Meanwhile, a Bleacher Report revealed that LeBron James held a players-only meeting after their loss against the Raptors, which is believed to bring the team back together. “That’s a veteran ball club”. It might seem curious to have James on Jack, but the Cavs were switching on 1-5 pick-and-rolls, so James was switching onto Brook Lopez and Tristan Thompson was picking up Jack.

Draymond Green had a triple-double of 13 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds, while Festus Ezeli finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds off the bench.

Like James and Blatt’s relationship, or Smith’s commitment to something other than taking contested jump shots to James putting in so much time in practicing a specialized shot like that running hook that he would actually feel confident enough to use it in crunch time, Cleveland’s season goals are all about growth.

Kevin Love also scored 26 points for Cleveland, which played a sluggish first half and didn’t take its first lead until midway through the third quarter.

J.R. Smith extended the lead to four on a 3 from the right wing.

After averaging a lowly 6.3 points on 30 percent shooting from the field in the Cavs’ first seven games, Smith has heated up.

Not incidentally, Clifford gushed with praise for Williams, based on Williams’ defense against the Washington Wizards.

For all he has accomplished in a glistening career – two championships, four Most Valuable Player awards and two NBA Finals MVP trophies – there is one elusive milestone LeBron James has yet to grasp. “We felt and we knew that we needed a little bit more at that end of the court”. But the effort was there, even if it was often misplaced and that was a big reason for why they were able to come away with the win. That was the key to the win.

Three nights earlier, Hollins had watched his team get beaten at Oklahoma City, 110-99.

“We had our chances down the stretch and didn’t take advantage of them”, Nets coach Lionel Hollins said.
