LeBron propels Cavaliers past Thunder
Basketball Betting Lines
01/23/2010 -
Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - LeBron James scored 13 of his game-high 37
points in the last quarter and came up with a game-saving block on Kevin
Durant, as the Cavaliers held off the Oklahoma City Thunder, 100-99, at
Quicken Loans Arena.
Shaquille O'Neal had a season-high 22 points for Cleveland, which won its
fourth straight game. Daniel Gibson added 13, including the go-ahead three-
pointer with 8.7 seconds left. Jawad Williams scored 12 in the win.
James, who also had 12 rebounds and nine assists, made 6-of-10 from three-
point range.
Durant ended with 34 points and 10 boards for the Thunder, who have lost back-
to-back contests following a three-game winning streak. Their last four games
have been decided by a total of eight points. Russell Westbrook had 23 points
in defeat.
Oklahoma City led by as many as six early in the final quarter, but found
themselves trailing 95-91 following a pair of James free throws with 2:59
remaining.
A Durant free throw, Westbrook jumper and two from the line from Jeff Green
gave the Thunder a one-point lead with 56.7 seconds to go.
The door was then opened for Oklahoma City to steal the win when Anderson
Varejao missed a pair from the charity stripe for the Cavs with 38.7 ticks
left.
Westbrook, though, missed a short jumper and Gibson spotted up for a three,
received the pass from James and knocked down the go-ahead shot from the left
wing for a 98-96 edge.
After a timeout, Durant tried to give the Thunder the lead, but his shot from
the left side was swatted away by James, who was then fouled. He barely sank
the ensuing free throws with 2.9 seconds left, and Durant made a three at the
buzzer.
Cleveland held a 26-23 lead after one quarter and widened that to 56-43 at the
half. A 17-9 spurt at the end of the third gave the Thunder a 78-77 edge.
Game Notes
Green had 11 points...The Thunder shot 38.4 percent from the field...Cleveland
went 12-of-28 from beyond the arc...Durant extended his franchise record by
scoring 25-plus points in 18 straight games, and owns an NBA-best 25 games
with at least 30 points this season.
