They've been playing very well lately and they beat the LA Clippers last night in Cleveland 105-94. Lebron, Kevin Love and JR Smith had a good game. I'm surprised Kyrie Irving only had 10 points. They play on ABC network on Sunday and I forgot who they play. I guess they're in first place since Chicago lost to Houston on Wednesday. Chicago has been struggling lately and I'm glad so Cleveland can move past them. Hopefully Cleveland can keep up the winning.

Well that streak has been snapped by their longtime Division Rival Indiana Pacers

Here's the story:

Pacers grind out a victory against James and the Cavaliers
Feb. 7, 2015

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) George Hill was just looking to get to the free throw line when he heaved up an awkward 3-pointer. Instead, he put his Pacers in position to end the Cavaliers' winning streak.

C.J. Miles scored 26 points, Hill converted a key four-point play and the Indiana Pacers ended the Cleveland Cavaliers' 12-game winning streak, 103-99 Friday night.

Trailing by one with 1:26 to play, Kyrie Irving fouled Hill off a ball screen while shooting an off-balance, one-handed 3. Hill made the 3 and the free throw to extend Indiana's lead to three points. Hill finished with 20 points.

''I just wanted to make a play. Shots weren't falling for me at the time,'' Hill said. ''I was trying to figure out ways to get to the free throw line and I knew (Irving) was pressing over up over the screen. (I) tried to draw the foul and it worked to our advantage.''

In the first half, it looked as if Indiana couldn't get anything working to its advantage. Cleveland was hot from the floor despite playing on the second of back-to-back games. The Cavs shot 51 percent and made five 3s in the first half including a 3 from Irving with 0.5 seconds left in the second quarter.

The Cavs (31-21) continued to pile on, leading by as many as 13 points in the third quarter. But Cleveland struggled to maintain the lead. The Pacers (19-32) played perhaps their grittiest game of the season and pushed back, closing out the final four minutes of the third quarter on a 14-2 run that brought them within three points.

''There was a point where we said it's just about hanging in,'' Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. ''They (Cleveland) played last night. We just wanted to keep wearing them down.''

After wearing them down in the third, Miles led a surge in the fourth quarter, scoring 16. Miles hit a 3-pointer with five minutes left that gave the Pacers their first lead of the game.

The lead changed seven times over next four minutes until Indiana pulled away with less than a minute to go. J.R. Smith had two 3-pointers in the final 12 seconds and finished with 17 points.

''(After struggling early) I got a dunk, I got a layup. I saw it and it was just (about) staying confident,'' Miles said. ''Then I got a couple looks and it was on from there. They play well and they execute well, we were just able to make some plays and win the game.''

David West grabbed 13 rebounds and had 20 points, recording his third double-double of the season. The Pacers have won two straight, with both wins coming against conference opponents.

Irving had one of his best performances of the season overshadowed by the loss. He scored 29 points and added five assists. LeBron James had 25 points, five assists and six rebounds in his first game in Indianapolis since last season's Eastern Conference finals with Miami.

''I thought we had a really good chance to win this game tonight,'' James said. ''They played an excellent game. I watch a lot of their games and they don't normally make shots like they did tonight. Late in the game we didn't execute like I believe we're capable of doing. We gave up too many points and a lot of them came in the fourth quarter.''

James went to the bench at the end of the game due to a sore ankle. He also appeared to injure his ankle when he was also fouled by Roy Hibbert in the fourth quarter. It was ruled a flagrant 1 and James walked to the bench holding his wrist.

''(James) got hit quite a few times tonight,'' Cavaliers coach David Blatt said. ''He took a couple fouls that were not easy. He is a little banged up as it is. We're going to see how (James) feels tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully he'll play (Sunday) if he can't, then he won't.''

TIP-INS

Cavaliers: The Cavaliers fell one win short of tying their franchise-best winning streak at 13-games. They had two 13-game streaks in 2010, LeBron's final season before going to Miami. Kyrie Irving has never won in Indianapolis

Pacers: All five starters scored in double figures. Indiana is 2-3 this season when that happens.

UP NEXT:

Indiana: travels to Charlotte Sunday.

Cleveland: hosts the Lakers Sunday.

I heard both...I also saw the Cavs edge-out The Lakers.

Last month, I had doubts with the Cavs, but now I feel that they may win it all....

What are you talking about the Cavs edged the Lakers? Cavs blew them out the whole game hahahahahahahahaha. The score was 120-105. I can't believe the Cavs coach was walking the sidelines in the 4th quarter when the score was 100-71 LOL. He should've been sitting down because the Cavs weren't gonna lose. The Lakers are terrible without Kobe and they're terrible with Kobe LOL. Kobe needs to retire after this season and I know he won't because for whatever reason, he still feels like he has something to prove and he doesn't. He isn't gonna win anymore championships. So he can forget about that LOL.



I feel bad for Lakers coach Byron Scott because he's a good guy and he doesn't have that many good players. The Lakers are gonna be rebuilding for a long time and I don't think management has the patience to keep Byron around for awhile. So I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone in a couple of years. Same thing happened to him when he coached Cleveland before Lebron came back. He was there for only 3 years I think and he shouldn't have been fired because it's not his fault he didn't have a lot of good players. Cleveland plays Miami tonight in Cleveland on ESPN at 8pm. Cleveland should blow them out because Dwayne Wade is hurt and Miami sucks without him. Dwayne won't be playing in the all star game. Kyrie Irving is gonna be in the 3 point shootout at all star weekend on Saturday. Can't wait to see that. I hope he wins. He won before.

Kyrie and Lebron are gonna be on the all star team this weekend.

...and Cleveland beat Miami last night! 113-93!

I told you they were gonna blow them out hahahahahahahahahaha. Kevin Love got hurt yesterday because he got hit in the eye by Mario Chalmers. I hope he's alright. Cleveland plays Chicago today on TNT at 8pm in Chicago. That's gonna be a tough game because Chicago is good at home but Jimmy Butler won't be playing for the Bulls. I hope Cleveland wins.

Well ya never know what will happen in this game, but I'm still pulling for the Bulls to win

I heard the Cavs beat the best team in the NBA now...The Golden State Warriors!

But...they didn't do well against Indiana, but they didn't have LeBron nor their other good players.

They lost to Houston today in overtime 105-103 and Lebron had 37 points but he was 3-11 from the free throw line hahahahahahahahahahaha. He missed 2 free throws near the end. He's pathetic from the free throw line but he can make three pointers LOL. Kyrie Irving didn't play. Cleveland could've won if Lebron had made most of his free throws. Plus Lebron needs to stop holding onto the ball so long and pass the damn ball to his teammates. Kevin Love had 21 points after the third quarter and he didn't score in the 4th quarter and overtime. I blame Lebron for that and the coach David Blatt because he should've run some plays for Kevin and JR Smith who didn't have a good game because he didn't get the ball that much. Cleveland can forget about getting a championship anytime soon unless they change the way they play. Lebron has got to work on his free throws and they need to do better on defense. I also don't like their bench because they don't get that much bench scoring.

Well...The Cavs lost to the 1st Place Hawks...

I have faith in them as well as the Indians...but the Browns...they're dead!

Yeah I see they lost to the Hawks. Lebron was 5-13 from the field for 18 points with 9 turnovers. He's gotta play much better than that because 9 turnovers is too much. They gotta play Dallas today in Dallas and I hope they win. Dallas is tough to beat at home. Cleveland plays San Antonio in San Antonio on Thursday on TNT and that should be a good game.
