What TV Channel Is the Clippers-Cavaliers Game On Tonight?

Harrison Barnes scored 19, and the defending champions simply outclassed Chicago after embarrassing LeBron James and the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Monday night.

There’s only one direction to go when you’ve been floored. “Looking at that play, I’m not sure if that was someone else that that’s a flagrant foul”, Blatt said….

More importantly for the Cavs, it was a welcome performance after they were crushed 132-98 on Monday in the NBA Finals rematch.

Speaking after the match, James said “tonight was an example of how far we’ve got to go to get to a championship level” before adding that the inexperience of some of his team-mates is a problem they will need to address.

A basket from Paul pulled them within 93-87 in the fourth but a three-pointer from Love extended the lead back to nine, and the Cavs quickly began fouling Jordan again.

“The last time I was there we had a trophy, we had champagne and we had goggles”, Curry said, recalling last season’s Game 6. In the second quarter of Cleveland’s win over the Clippers on Thursday night, the above sequence looked like a fun little layup for the embattled Cavs power forward.

The league MVP posted 27 points, five rebounds and four assists in the win as the game was tight throughout the contest except for the fourth quarter where the Warriors had put up enough breathing room against the pesky Bulls.

Nets interim coach Tony Brown said he expected the Cavs to come out “breathing fire”, but this victory had more to do with their talent than tenacity.

Kyrie Irving scored 21 for Cleveland, which has won 13 of 14 against Los Angeles. I told my guys, ‘That starts with me.’ If they’re not mentally ready to play, I take responsibility for that.

James scored 16 for Cleveland, which just went 5-1 on its longest road trip this season. “We work pretty hard to be in first place in our conference and with some very good wins under our belt and with players finally getting back and being healthy”. But already at the close of the 2014-2015 regular season, Curry closed on the top spot.

Nets: Brooklyn fell to 5-2 against Cleveland at Barclays Center.

ABOUT THE NETS (11-31): Brooklyn is undoubtedly not one of the top teams around the league, and Brown is trying to guide the team while dealing with constant rumors about who will replace him as coach and who might be his next boss as general manager.

-And what about J.R. Smith? Smith barreled into the Warriors’ Harrison Barnes, who was setting a pick. Smith now has 1,564 for his career.NOTES: F LeBron James was named the Cavaliers’ lone All-Star starter after G Kyrie Irving was passed by Toronto G Kyle Lowry during the final week of voting.
