The Cavaliers have had no problem putting up points this year and, even during their recent rough patch, have averaged over 118 points per game over their last five games. On Sunday, against one of the most explosive players in recent memory, the Wine and Gold got defensive, holding the Thunder to 37 percent shooting […]
Jazz beat Cavaliers 100-92
January 11, 2017 by
The Cavaliers hadn’t played their best basketball through the first two games of their six-game trip. And though it was good enough to top the Nets and Suns, the Utah Jazz on their home floor is a different story. The Wine and Gold scored a season-low 12 points in the second quarter and dug themselves […]
Cavaliers hold off Suns 120-116
January 9, 2017 by
The Cavaliers began their six-game road trip with a pair of cellar-dwellers, but neither has proved to be a pushover. By the same token, neither squad has had the firepower to keep with the Big Three, either. One game after combining for 85 points, Cleveland’s power troika tallied 80 on Sunday night as the Wine […]
Cavaliers hold off Celtics 124-118
December 30, 2016 by
At the start of the fourth quarter, it looked like the Cavaliers – up 18 and coasting – might have the luxury of emptying their bench to get guys rested for their New Year’s Eve matchup in Charlotte. But the young Celtics had a different idea. And although the Wine and Gold still got the […]

December 21, 2016 by
Keep an eye on these Milwaukee Bucks. Yes, the Cavs gutted out a 114-108 overtime win here Tuesday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, behind 34 points from LeBron James on the night he became the NBA’s eighth all-time leading scorer. Kyrie Irving added 28 points and Channing Frye contributed 15 off the bench. The […]
Cavaliers beat Grizzlies 103-86
December 14, 2016 by
Even with Uncle Drew in street clothes, when the Wine and Gold are clicking defensively like they were on Tuesday – and with J.R. Smith is feeling like himself again – they’re almost impossible to beat. Memphis came into the first half of the rare inter-Conference home-and-home back-to-back with Cleveland having won six straight – […]
Clippers hand Cavaliers second straight loss 113-94
December 2, 2016 by
Heading into this week, the Cavaliers had coasted past opponents en route to the best start in franchise history. But a rough Tuesday night in Milwaukee snowballed into an even rougher one on Thursday night in Cleveland – as the Clippers handed the World Champs their second straight blowout loss, a lopsided 113-94 decision at […]
Bucks drop Cavaliers 118-101
November 30, 2016 by
Over the course on an 82-game season, every team is bound to have a clunker or two along the way – even a machine that’s been as running as smoothly as the Cavaliers have this year. The Wine and Gold turned in one of those on Tuesday night – as the Bucks overcome an early […]
Cavaliers beat Sixers 112-108
November 28, 2016 by
Over this past week, the Cavaliers used huge individual first-quarter performances to get out of the gate quickly and blow past their opponents. On Sunday, they did the exact opposite – rope-a-doping for three periods in Philly before “Mr. Fourth Quarter” took over to sink the Sixers. After starting the game missing their first 14 […]
Cavaliers down Hornets 100-93
November 14, 2016 by
Despite the Cavaliers’ stellar record three weeks into the season, the recipe has been pretty similar from game-to-game: A major helping of the Big Three with a dash of J.R. Smith and pinch of key plays from the bench. But the home cookin’ had a little different flavor on Sunday afternoon – with Cleveland’s bench […]
