Celtics Beat Cavaliers with Last Second Layup

C.J. Miles guarded the inbounds pass from Avery Bradley, and Gee was on Pierce away from the ball. Jason Terry slipped Wayne Ellington and got in Luke Walton’s way, while Jeff Green got the ball above the 3-point line, took one dribble with his left hand and sliced between Ellington and Shaun Livingston for a […]

Cavaliers Blow Big Lead, Lose to Heat 98-95

The Miami Heat survived a 35-minute delay to fix a leaky scoreboard canister, a 27-point third-quarter deficit, a fan running onto the court during their rally and a gutty Cavaliers comeback on Wednesday night at The Q. Overcoming all that, the Heat beat the short-handed Cavs, 98-95, to push their winning streak to 24 games […]

Pacers Whip Cavaliers 111-90

The Cavaliers have 15 games left. Nine of those games will be against teams that were in the playoffs as of Monday night. What’s to prevent a repeat of Monday night’s 111-90 manhandling by the Indiana Pacers nine more times, starting Wednesday night against Miami, which has won 23 straight games? “Heart,” said C.J. Miles […]

Cavaliers Come Up Short Against Spurs 119-113

As close as they might come, as hard as they might play and as well as they might shoot, the Cavaliers still do not have their Mr. Fourth Quarter. They are without All-Star Kyrie Irving, the point guard who sat at home as his Cava liers took on the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night […]

Raptors Beat Cavaliers 100-96

All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving needed help putting his Duke sweatshirt over his head after the Cavaliers’ 100-96 loss to the Toronto Raptors Sunday, a clear indication that his left shoulder contusion was far more painful than watching his team flounder through another awful third quarter. Irving was driving to the basket when he took […]

Cavaliers Rally to Beat Jazz 104-101

If the Utah Jazz were willing to give a game away, the Cavaliers were willing to take it. “Merry Christmas to us,” Cavs coach Byron Scott said after his team played just hard enough for just long enough to somehow manage to beat the Jazz, 104-101, before 12,124 appreciative fans Wednesday night at The Q. […]

Cavaliers Blow Big Lead, Lose to Knicks 102-97

The Cavaliers were every bit as disgusted, discouraged and disheartened as the 19,784 fans who watched them blow a 22-point lead in their 102-97 loss to the New York Knicks on Monday night at The Q. After rolling to a 52-30 lead on a 3-pointer by C.J. Miles midway through the second quarter, the young […]

Clippers Beat Cavaliers 105-89

It started with the very first play of the game. Chris Paul lobbed the ball to a soaring Blake Griffin, and after just eight seconds had passed Friday night, the Los Angeles Clippers had their first dunk and had set the tone. They were going to be strong, aggressive and were not going to show […]

Cavaliers Beat Bulls 101-98

Luke Walton has only been with the Cavaliers for three of the 11 straight losses to the Chicago Bulls, but that was enough for him. So Walton and fellow veteran Shaun Livingston, starting in place of injured point guard Kyrie Irving, led the charge down the stretch as the Cavs snapped that 11-game losing streak […]

Cavaliers Fall Short to Heat 109-105

It’s the sort of compliment the Cavaliers will just have to take until they actually learn to win down the stretch. “We had to fight for that,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said after the Heat rallied from an eight-point deficit in the fourth quarter for a tough 109-105 victory on Sunday night at American Airlines […]
