Larry Nance Jr. to wear father’s No. 22 for Cavaliers
But both teams were red-hot entering the break. The over/under for total points scored is 211.5, 70.6% have picked the over.
The forward announced Thursday night that the National Basketball Association has worked it out so he can switch from No. 24 to his dad’s No. 22 starting next week.
New Cleveland Cavaliers big man Larry Nance Jr. will get to honor his dad, after all.
“Where I am now, I think we can be really good”, James said.
“I couldn’t be happier with it”, Nance said prior to Thursday night’s game against the Washington Wizards.
Thunder 110, Kings 107: Russell Westbrook made a three-pointer as time expired, lifting Oklahoma City after the Thunder blew a 23-point lead and trailed 105-102 with 4½ minutes remaining. Despite outscoring their Western Conference rivals 31-19 in the third quarter, OKC was able to power past the Grizzlies in the fourth. He shot 72.2% from the field, making 13 of his 18 attempts (5/9 from the line, 1/4 from three-point range). But it wasn’t enough. “We showed great resolve”. Beal took his time, sized up the defense, then drove to the basket for a layup that put Washington up 108-103.
According to OddsShark.com, Washington is a 6-point road underdog tonight versus the Cavs, along with a total set of 221 points.
Nance will make his home debut at the Quicken Loans Arena, along with the rest of the new team, at Thursday’s game against the Washington Wizards.
“I don’t agree with that”, James said. “It’s not going to be overnight, no matter the excitement before the break”.
Professors Angie Bos and Jennifer Bowen from the political science and mathematics departments, respectively, stress the importance of liking who you work with and creating a positive environment for all. “Offensively, I thought, we were moving the ball when we needed, but defensively I thought we” played poorly. Beal’s 15 points in the first-round weren’t enough to advance as Pheonix Suns’ Devin Booker set a record 28 points in the final round to win the contest.
Portis had a chance for a game victor, but his short attempt – with Embiid closing from the weak side – just missed.
“I don’t see them being scared or being afraid of the moment”, Lue said Wednesday. Oubre tried to give the Wizards an extra advantage when he reached over during a dead-ball situation and tried to untie one of Hood’s shoes. Childish? Yes. Juvenile? Absolutely. They grounded the streaking Cavaliers with a 110-103 win in Cleveland.
Given a preference, the Cavaliers would have stayed home and practiced Friday.
LeBron James was the only Cavalier player to score in the final nine minutes and the Cavs were unable to get enough stops down the stretch to salvage their offensive struggles.
