Wednesday’s game featured two of the giants in this generation – Kobe Bryant, in his career send-off at The Q and LeBron James, who’s days away from starting in his 12th straight All-Star Game. But it was an up-and-coming superstar who stole the show. Kyrie Irving – who missed the season’s first 24 games – […]

It doesn’t take an in-depth analysis of the stat sheet to see how the Cavaliers had their five-game win streak stopped in Charlotte. A quick look at the rebounding numbers says it all. Despite being without their two best players – Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson – the Hornets dominated on the boards, 49-28, and […]

February 2, 2016 by
There isn’t much that Kyrie Irving hasn’t done in his already-brilliant five-year NBA career. But winning a game in Indiana was one of them – until Monday night. Irving and Co. had to play some bonus hoops to get the job done after relinquishing a double-digit halftime lead, but eventually the Wine and Gold overcame […]
Cavaliers beat Suns 115-93

The Cavaliers have been so dominant over the Western Conference – winning 26 of their last 32 and taking 14 of their last 15 at home, including Wednesday’s win over the Suns – it’s only fitting that Tyronn Lue and his staff will be in Toronto in just over two weeks, leading the East in […]

January 26, 2016 by
Tyronn Lue had to wait one game before his new up-tempo offense took hold and gave the 38-year-old head coach with his first career win – but it was worth the wait. The Cavaliers played with an urgency that was missing in Lue’s debut on Saturday night, racing past the Timberwolves early in the fourth […]

In the NBA, there are no sure things. But the Wine and Gold beating the Clippers in their annual visit to the North Coast is about as close as it gets. On Thursday night, despite playing their third game in four nights, the Cavaliers dropped the Clippers for the 13th time in their last 14 […]
Cavaliers whip Nets 91-78
January 21, 2016 by
It’s not normal to say that a team with championship aspirations would need a victory over a team 20 games below .500 in the middle of January. But after Monday night’s loss to the Warriors – and a pair of tough games looming at The Q – the Wine and Gold needed to thump the […]
Warriors smack Cavaliers 132-98
January 19, 2016 by
There’s not much left to say about Monday’s eagerly-awaited MLK Day matchup against the Warriors that the lopsided final score and statistics don’t. After falling in six dramatic NBA Finals games last June, the Wine and Gold have now dropped the season series to Golden State. The first contest, on Christmas Day in Oakland, was […]
Spurs down Cavaliers 99-95
January 15, 2016 by
In a battle between two of the league’s true heavyweights – one, a winner of eight straight, the other having rolled off nine – something had to give. The Cavaliers came into San Antonio on the final days of their longest trip of the season, having topped their first four foes. But the Spurs are […]
Cavaliers beat Mavericks 110-107 in OT
January 13, 2016 by
When the Cavaliers have it rolling like they do right now – with the Big Three doing the heavy lifting and the bench doing the dirty work – there may not be a road trip long enough to slow them down. As the six-game, 10-day junket took its Texas turn, the Cavaliers overcame a slow […]
