PG13 Outscores LeBron But Cavs Beat Pacers

Paul, dressed in street clothes, came on the court during a timeout to make a case with one of the referees.

That was when Jefferson turned thirty, which James did previous year.

Since the day LeBron James announced in July 2014 he was returning to the Cavaliers, the spotlight has been on the Cavs in a blinding way not experienced since the franchise was born in 1970. Ellis averaged 18.9 points for the Dallas Mavericks last season, and the Pacers are looking for him to be a scoring complement to George.BUZZER BEATERS 1. For anyone who has watched him for years, it’s easy to tell when James doesn’t have his usual burst or lift. “I’m one person in this league that really enjoys big matchups and enjoys competition”.

The Magic (3-4) won for the third time in four games with Saturday’s 105-97 victory at Philadelphia. After practice, head coach David Blatt told reporters the plan is to be as cautious as possible with LeBron.

Danilo Gallinari had 25 points for Denver, which lost its third straight at Golden State and sixth in nine games overall. John Wall, who fell into foul trouble early, finished with 13 points and eight assists.

Two months later, James returned to Cleveland.

X-Factor: PG vs LBJ might be the main attraction but Kevin Love’s 22 points and 19 rebounds, as well as two assists and 3 blocks quietly powered Cleveland’s win. George again performed well with 32 points on 11-of-21 shooting and is averaging 31.3 points and shooting 50.0 percent in his last three games after putting up 16.8 and hitting 33.3 percent in the previous four. Indiana’s turnaround has come largely at the defensive end, though Paul George regaining his All-Star form is helping as well.

“That’s exactly what it’ll be”, he said. They’re getting a lot of open shots and they’re knocking them down, but even when they’re covered close to the basket, they’re making their shots, even if their 3-point shooting is way off (18th).

If you go after the King, you best not miss. Sampson played on the same AAU team and even worked out with him during summers and participated in games on LeBron’s private court.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Tobias Harris had 20 points, including what turned out to be the decisive free throw, and Orlando handed Toronto its first loss of the season.

“It’s all about effort. It’s on us to get us where we want to go”. It didn’t just happen overnight. We’ve got to stay more consistent. He added five rebounds and three assists.

Gasol, who won two championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, had a few pointed words in the locker room.

“There are certain things you have to bring every night in the National Basketball Association in order to win games, and we didn’t bring that tonight”, Gasol said. Indiana was in the lead 90-88 with 4:11 left in the game, but that was the last lead they would have for the rest of the game.

So, that’s what needs changing for Love and the Cavs going forward. “It will be a good challenge for us, because they’re all good teams. They got whipped, pretty much”. For instance, Cleveland is heavily reliant on James, so Tuesday’s trip opener figures to be a huge challenge for Hayward. “I dreamed of being the best guy, being an elite guy, being a superstar in this league”, George said. “Tonight, from the tip I got a quick layup and felt good from there on”.
