LeBron James led the Cavaliers with 32 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists as they cruised to their fourth straight win, beating the Blazers 100-87. With the win, the Cavs improve to 6-2 on the season and 4-1 at the Q. Even the offensively challenged Eric Snow got into the act, scoring 13 points.
Unfortunately, Larry Hughes still can’t avoid the injuries. Hughes injured his leg in the second quarter as he was diving for a loose ball. However, X-ray’s were negative and it doesn’t appear to be serious.
It seems the Cavs are finally starting to get into rhythm after a tough stretch with the Bobcats and Hawks. They have scored 100 or more points in three of their last four games. The quality of opponents recently hasn’t been that great but the Cavs are beating the teams they should and are taking care of business.
The Cavaliers got a career night from Damon Jones and held on late for a 102-96 win against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden on Monday night. Jones was 7 of 10 in three-pointers and dropped 29 points off the bench. LeBron James also had 29 points.
The Cavs had to endure yet another slow start as they fell behind 10-2 early. In the end, they were able to get a good road win as they will come home for two straight games starting Wednesday.
Charlie Frye and the Browns started out hot by opening up a 14-0 lead in the second quarter and held Michael Vick in check enough to preserve their 17-13 victory.
The offense may not have looked pretty at times, but they did just enough to win as the Browns’ defense was very impressive in their efforts to contain the dangerous Falcon offense. Browns touchdowns were scored by Rueben Droughns on a 1-yard run on fourth down in the first quarter and a Braylon Edwards 19-yard pass from Charlie Frye in the second quarter. Kellen Winslow, who led the team with 90 yards on 5 catches, had a couple of outstanding grabs on sideline streaks.
It was the defense which did a nice job of controlling the Falcons when the Browns sputtered offensively in the second half and Sean Jones picked off yet another pass for his fifth INT of the season.
Just what we needed heading into next week’s home battle with Pittsburgh!
When your team is down by 25 in the third quarter, most would chalk it up as a loss and turn the game off in disgust. Most of us probably did that Saturday night with the Cavs, who fell behind 25-6 in the first quarter. But behind LeBron’s 38 points, 25 of which came in the second half, the Cavs staged an improbable comeback and outscored the Celtics 34-17 in the fourth quarter to win a 94-93 thriller at the Q.
“We had no business winning that game,” Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said. “We willed our way to a win.”
The Cavs looked lifeless in the first half, especially in the first quarter. Somehow, the lightbulb went on and LeBron James decided to take over in the second half and did not allow the Cavs to lose. Sasha Pavlovic had his second consecutive double-digit scoring night with 14 points while the Wild Thing added nine points and 10 boards for the Cavs.
The Cavaliers have been extremely streaky so far this season and although we won Saturday, it has to be a little concerning that it took us an entire half to get in gear. Great win nonetheless.
