Trail Blazers humble Cavs, 76ers nab rare win

One thing James and a few others have fallen back on during this incredibly underwhelming week for Cleveland is the struggles of finding a lineup rotation. Portland led 63-34 at halftime, thanks to forward Allen Crabbe putting forth a career night in scoring. Rookie guard Devin Booker is in line to see more playing time during Bledsoe’s absence and scored a season-best 19 points in the loss to the 76ers.BUZZER BEATERS 1.

Tight end Ben Watson said he suspects Flynn would be first in line to step in. “Obviously, you lose ballgames that way”, he said. Let’s check out some of the notable players and stats from the game so we can determine why things played out the way they did.

Seven of Warren’s 10 second-quarter points (on 4-of-6 shooting) came on second-chance opportunities, including a 3 which was assisted by Sonny Weems after an offensive rebound of Tucker’s missed 22-foot jumper at the 8:12 mark.

The government had also launched a scheme for people to give up their subsidies so that the less privileged would benefit. However, this was revised to nine in January as consumers were bearing the brunt of runaway inflation at the time.

“Throw it in the trash”, James said when asked what the Cavaliers would do with their worst setback of the season.

Sunderland are now seven points from safety, a gap Allardyce says needs to be bridged as soon as possible. We want to play football and if you get a second ball you have to re-focus and fight for it.

“We took it to ’em tonight”, McCollum said.

The Cavaliers shot. 364 from the field a night after firing at a season-low. Whether it was hangover from the Golden State loss, overconfidence, exhaustion, or dead batteries in their Medical Alert bracelet – the Cavs never got back up, falling 105-76 to the Trailblazers.

“J.R. Smith made an incredible winning play to save that ball”, Cleveland coach David Blatt said. Portland shot. 461 from the field, including.

With the Pacers leading by three, Ellis pulled up for a 3-point attempt with 16 seconds to play. Portland didn’t make a turnover in the entire first half.

Cleveland’s “third team” might have gotten a push with its Portland adversary, but that was after the Blazers had extended their advantage to 34 points early in the fourth quarter. The Cavaliers have been waiting to get healthy again all year long. “It was a good night”.

DeRozan scored 10 points in the third quarter after Toronto had fallen behind by as many as six and the Raptors opened the fourth with a 17-2 run to go ahead by 13 when Ross sank a three-pointer with 5:56 remaining. 29 points. Soon after, the benches officially started to empty. In December, Delly has notched double-figures in eight of Cleveland’s 12 contests and has shot better than 50 percent from long-distance – and he’s still in the top 5 in assist-to-turnover ratio.

The Blazers increased the difference to 40-16 before the Cavaliers answered with an 8-0 spurt that cut the gap to 40-24. It was as close as they would get; Portland responded with an 11-0 run for a 51-24 advantage.

After the Suns, the Cavaliers will head to the rockies on Tuesday to take on the Denver Nuggets before heading back home for a two-game home stand that will begin on Saturday.

With seven points, all in the first half, Howard moved to 15,001 for his career.

The Blazers (12-20) were also going without their All-Star point guard, Damian Lillard, who missed his third straight game with plantar fasciitis. The Phoenix Suns have lost four of their last six home games. One night after losing a Christmas Day game on the road to the Warriors 89-83 in a rematch of the 2015 NBA Finals, the Cavaliers looked nothing like a Finals-caliber team.

You just have to keep going!
