“That team right there has so many weapons, and it starts with LeBron, so we were very fortunate to play a complete game”.

Already suffering from injuries in the backcourt, the Cavaliers played against the Raptors without the services of point guard Matthew Dellavedova, who after scoring in double figures in back-to-back games, was sidelined by a left calf injury. “It comes from within”. “If he contested a shot at the rim we tried to make him pay, and if he wanted to stay with me then we got a clear paint to get layups”. “These wins matter but you can’t get too high on them because the only thing that matters is when you get in the playoffs”. Head coach David Blatt said he felt fatigue and their numerous injures played a factor in the loss.
It may seem a bit weird for a team atop a conference to be having these kinds of “issues”, but LeBron clearly isn’t messing around. Lowry has become a weapon in transition this season, and he burned the Cavaliers last night for a pull-up 3 when he was left unguarded and broke down the defense immediately on his way to the hoop whenever they left the door open.
Now, Norm is a big Drake fan; you might remember him gaining some prominence during the Great Drake-Meek Mill Feud of July.
“Like I said before”, Carroll reiterated after the game, “you try to be that gnat on that summer day, when you’re eating that barbecue, you know what I’m talking about?” Despite recent speculation that Biyombo may have undergone elective surgery to have his hands replaced with his feet and vice-versa, Biyombo scored 6 of his 11 points in the decisive moments of the 4 quarter. Kyle Lowry was just absurd, with 20 of his 27 points coming in a dominant second half.
“If we’re going to foul, we got to make it count, “Tristan Thompson said”.
The Cavaliers won the season series past year, winning three games out of four. The “Hotline Bling” cube will be set up outside Gate 1 at the ACC until game time. Williams made a 3-pointer at the buzzer to cut the Raptors’ lead to 82-80 after three quarters. The first half ended tied at 49.
Grizzlies 102, Rockets 93: Jeff Green scored 20 points, and Courtney Lee scored 10 of his 17 in the fourth quarter to lead visiting Memphis past struggling Houston.
“We’re excited about the win, no question about that” said Casey, never one to get lost in philosophical discussions of universal forces and interpersonal physics.
