Cleveland Cavaliers Put Winning Streak on the Line Tomorrow

James’ teams have won 23 straight games against Charlotte. The two teams will play three more times this season.

While some of you might be wondering why I would mention Dellavedova doing what he does best in his role-he was an intricate part of the small lineup that David Blatt put out there in the fourth. 500 on the road, improving to 4-4 this season.

LeBron has not lost a game with Charlotte since February 19 of 2010. He made a season-high nine of his 16 tries from long range in his 14th career 40-point game, five this season.

All those things played a role, but in the end it came down to my gut feeling and personal opinion, as such lists always do.

LaMarcus Aldridge and reserve guard Patty Mills added 13 points apiece for San Antonio, while reserve Manu Ginobili scored 12 points, Tony Parker hit for 11 points and Tim Duncan tallied 10 points and grabbed a season-high 18 rebounds for the Spurs, who are entrenched atop the NBA Western Conference’s Southwest Division.

HAWKS 116, GRIZZLIES 101: Paul Millsap had 23 points and 14 rebounds, one of the six Atlanta players who scored in double figures at Memphis, Tennessee.

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

LOS ANGELES – Blake Griffin and J.J. Redick each scored 20 points before sitting out the fourth quarter, and Los Angeles routed undermanned New Orleans.

LeBron James has heard that chatter, of course, but has some good advice for all of us hoop heads out there – enjoy who you’re watching while they’re playing and forget about comparing eras or players as you do so.

“Those five we had out there were rolling in the fourth quarter”, Love said. It will be interesting to see how the those match-ups pan out for both sides but if the Charlotte Hornets can remain competitive against top teams this season then I think that is seen as a win for them.

Kemba Walker had 18 points and Nicolas Batum added 17 points and eight rebounds to lead Charlotte, which fell to 4-1 on its seven-game homestand.

Young has been a bright spot with 18.7 points and 9.8 rebounds per game over his last six.

Smith had a career-high four blocks and played well defensively throughout the night.

After scoring 16 first-half points, Lopez managed only two in the third quarter as the Cavaliers made an adjustment, with several big bodies thrown Lopez’s way.

Tristan Thompson’s basket with 1:13 remaining gave Cleveland an 86-85 lead and James made two free throws with 16 seconds left, but Johnson was fouled by J.R. Smith attempting a 3-pointer.

Unfortunately, Batum missed a contested three pointer from the top of the key with 20 seconds left.

Cavaliers: Timofey Mozgov started at center for the second straight night after missing three games with a strained right shoulder….

Leading by 10 points at halftime, the defending champion Warriors opened the third quarter with a 27-8 run that included four 3-pointers by Brandon Rush to build the lead to 29 points. “We didn’t play well in the first half, but instead of going in down 15 or 17, we kept it close”.
