Despite those distractions, the Cavs managed to play a solid all-around game to beat the Bucks, who were within 104-98 after a 3-pointer by Bayless.
Nonetheless, “King James” still managed to drop 37 points, along with 12 rebounds and five assists. “Everyone’s in a great rhythm”. First, there was the situation where LeBron unfollowed the Cavaliers’ official Twitter account.

Kristaps Porzingis, Carmelo Anthony power Knicks past Bulls, 115-107: Kristaps Porzingis finally had a breakout game under Kurt Rambis. I know I’m able to play in different demeanors.
Jordan Clarkson scored 22 points and Kobe Bryant added 20 as the Lakers snapped a four-game losing streak. Totals 40-83 23-27 113.
