For some, this is a moment to reflect and feel fortunate our species race gave us two such brilliant, versatile players in a span of 50 years. They improved to 4-4 on the road.
James: He just kept drawing foul after foul from Charlotte’s forwards. James’ last loss to Charlotte came back on February 19, 2010, when he was on his first stint with the Cavs and Charlotte was still the Bobcats. He sees the open man, finds everybody that is why it makes him different from all the other players in National Basketball Association because the vision of James is phenomenal.
Timberwolves 100, 76ers 95: Andrew Wiggins scored 17 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter to help Minnesota keep Philadelphia winless.
But just as Magic fans began dreaming of an upset, the Cavaliers clicked into gear with Love pouring on the points as Cleveland took a grip on the contest.
“We felt we had a certain lineup that was working”, Blatt said.
With nearly four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Love gathered a defensive rebound and hurled one of his trademark outlet passes to James as James sprinted forward. “And in this early part of the season, it’s been working for us”.
“We got outplayed in every way tonight”, Hayward said. “In the National Football League when you talk about great quarterbacks, you don’t really compare great quarterbacks – Joe Montana is great, Tom Brady is great”. Nicolas Batum finished with 17 points and tied team-highs in both rebounds (eight) and assists (four)…
In other games, Greg Monroe had 20 points and 13 rebounds in his first game against his former team, leading the Milwaukee Bucks to a 109-88 victory over the Detroit Pistons, the Charlotte Hornets downed the Los Angeles Kings 127-122 in overtime and the San Antonio Spurs were 98-84 winners over the Phoenix Suns.
Dellavedova also returned after missing a game with tightness in his left calf and had seven points.
Cleveland were made to work for the victory however, with Orlando fighting back from 12 points down to lead by eight points in the second quarter at 42-34.
Newton was introduced in the third quarter and started doing the “dab” as the crowd went wild and music played in the arena. That sounded similar to a frustrated James, who 2,500 miles away was lamenting the Cavs’ lack of physicality following the loss to the Raptors.
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James and the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry were today named NBA Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played Monday, November 16 through Sunday, November 22.
James is a talented player, but he needs talent around him. “He’s a role model here in this city and the franchise should be happy to have him”. Prominently, Thomas Davis, Cam Newton and coach Ron Rivera and his wife all were scheduled to show up.
