Roundup
Cavaliers’ streak
reaches 8 games
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Kyrie Irving was
headed toward Cleveland’s locker
room when he was greeted
exuberantly by general manager
David Griffin.
“You might stick in this league,”
Griffin told the fourth-year player
from Duke.
Irving scored 22 points with
some big three-pointers, including
one in overtime after LeBron
James made the go-ahead layup,
and the Cavaliers extended their
winning streak to eight games
with a 110-107 victory over the
Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday
night.
James had 27 points, including
a layup with a minute left in overtime
that pushed the Cavs ahead
106-105. After an attempted three
by Deron Williams rattled out for
Dallas, Irving beat the shot clock
with a three-pointer from the top
of the key after James passed up
a shot and got the ball to Irving
instead.
“It’s just the confidence I have
in him and he has the confidence
in his self,” James said.
It was only the 10th game for
Irving this season after recovering
from a broken left kneecap
sustained in Game 1 of the NBA
Finals last June.
Cleveland, which trailed by 16
points in the first quarter, never
led until Irving made a threepointer
with 10 minutes left to
make it 75-74. That was the first
of nine lead changes in a span of
less than 4 minutes that Irving
capped with another three to put
the Cavs up 85-83.
“That’s not the team that we
want to be [in the first half], but
we were still in the game,” Irving
said. “Talent kept us around for
that long, but we locked in in the
second half and matched up really
well when they went small ball.
For us, it’s just a luxury having
that ability.”
Chandler Parsons led Dallas
with a season-high 25 points on
10-for-14 shooting.
The game was tied at 95 after
James made a drive through the
Mavs for an emphatic two-handed
slam with 20 seconds left in
regulation, though he didn’t get
the foul he wanted.
Dallas then had the ball in Dirk
Nowitzki’s hands for a possible
final shot to win in regulation, but
Iman Shumpert stripped the ball
free and the Cavs had less than a
second after a timeout.
Nowitzki had 17 points and 11
rebounds, while Zaza Pachulia
had 14 points and 12 rebounds.
Spurs 109, Pistons 99: Tony
Parker scored 31 points, LaMarcus
Aldridge added 22 points and
13 rebounds, and visiting San
Antonio beat Detroit for its ninth
straight victory.
Manu Ginobili added 15 points
while Tim Duncan had 14 points
and nine rebounds for the Spurs,
who return to San Antonio trying
to extend their 31-game home
winning streak Thursday against
Cleveland.
Knicks 120, Celtics 114: Kristaps
Porzingis scored 26 points,
Arron Afflalo had 20 of his 24
in the second half, and host New
York beat Boston.
Jerian Grant scored 10 of his
16 points in the fourth quarter
and added eight assists in the best
game of his rookie season as the
Knicks held off the Celtics despite
losing leading scorer Carmelo
Anthony to a sprained right ankle
seconds into the third quarter.
Rockets 107, Grizzlies 91:
James Harden scored 25 points,
Dwight Howard added 17 points
and 14 rebounds and visiting
Houston beat Memphis.
Terrence Jones finished with
20 points for Houston, 10 in the
fourth quarter when the Rockets
pulled away to win their fourth
straight after the game was tied
at 83.
Bucks 106, Bulls 101: Giannis
Antetokounmpo had 29
points and 10 rebounds, and host
Milwaukee used a late rally to slip
past Chicago.
Jimmy Butler scored 30 points
and Nikola Mirotic and Tony
Snell added 17 apiece for Chicago,
which used a 25-9 run late in the
third quarter and early into the
fourth to seemingly gain control
of the game.
Thunder 101, Timberwolves
96: Kevin Durant shrugged off a
slow start to finish with 30 points
in Oklahoma City’s victory over
host Minnesota.
Durant scored 12 straight for
the Thunder in the final three
minutes and also had seven rebounds.
Russell Westbrook added
22 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds
to help the Thunder hold
off a late charge from the struggling
Wolves .
Pacers 116, Suns 117: Paul
George had 21 points and seven
rebounds, and host Indiana pulled
away in the fourth quarter to beat
Phoenix.
Indiana outscored Phoenix 36-
21 in the final period, with George
scoring nine points. Monta Ellis
had all of his 14 points in the second
half.
Lakers 95, Pelicans 91: Lou
Williams scored nine of his 19
points in the fourth quarter, and
host Los Angeles rallied late to
end its four-game losing streak.
After Julius Randle hit the goahead
shot with 43 seconds left,
Williams added a clutch running
jumper with 18 seconds to play.
Los Angeles hung on to win the
meeting of the Western Conference’s
worst teams, surviving a
back-and-forth fourth quarter for
just its ninth win of the season.
