  newser | Associated Press | Feb 23, 08 12:10 AM CST
  
  After recently being touted by his coach as NBA MVP, LeBron James backed up that statement with another superb performance, leading the Cavaliers in a 90-89 nail-biter over Washington. James hit the winning free throws with 8 seconds left as part of his 33-point, 15-rebound night, while playing nearly the entire game because Cleveland dressed only eight players, reports AP. More »

  newser | Associated Press | Feb 19, 08 11:16 PM CST
  
  The Magic were the last team to beat the Pistons before their 10-game win streak, and they routed Detroit at home tonight to end it as well.

  newser | Associated Press | Feb 13, 08 10:47 PM CST
  
  Spurs swingman Manu Ginobili had a career-high eight three-pointers and 46 points overall, and San Antonio needed all of it in a 112-105 rematch of last year's finals against Cleveland. Ginobili had 18 points in the decisive fourth quarter, offsetting the same output from LeBron James, who had 39 on the day. Also in the East: More »
- Finally, Some Help For LeBron
  
  newser | Associated Press | Feb 11, 08 10:15 PM CST
  
  A common scapegoat for Cleveland's occasionally mediocre play, gunner Larry Hughes made the case for his sizable contract, pouring in 40 in the Cavaliers' 118-111 win tonight over the Magic. Hughes's 23-point third quarter kept Cleveland close, and the team's 12-2 run in the first five minutes of the fourth cinched it. More »
- Cavaliers' Body Count Rises
  
  newser | Associated Press | Feb 10, 08 9:49 PM CST
  
  The short-handed Cavaliers not only got gobsmacked by the Nuggets, eventually losing 113-83; they may have lost two more key players to injury. Starting center Zydrunas Ilgauskas missed the fourth quarter with back spasms, and mouthy sharpshooter Damon Jones sustained a sprained ankle. Cleveland already had four integral players benched by injury, including two starters. More »

The Bricks missed all seven shots in OT. Elsewhere: More »
- Rockets Surge Past Cavs
  
  newser | Houston Chronicle | Feb 8, 08 1:03 AM CST
  
  The Rockets showed their mettle last night, earning a hard-nosed victory over Cleveland 92-77, the Houston Chronicle reports. Houston, propelled by Yao Ming's 22 points, battled off a Cavalier comeback attempt in the fourth, as Tracy McGrady battled a respiratory infection which sent him to the hospital earlier in the day, but couldn't keep him off the court.

- LeBron, Gibson Push Cavs Past Celtics
  
  newser | Cleveland Plain Dealer | Feb 6, 08 1:06 AM CST
  
  LeBron James finished with 33 points, and nearly a triple-double, as Cleveland survived the still KG-less Celtics 114-113 last night, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Daniel Gibson's defensive play sealed the deal, as the three-point specialist made a key steal with little more than forty seconds left, followed by a decisive rebound with 25 seconds on the clock.

  newser | Miami Herald | Jan 22, 08 3:56 AM CST
  
  Dwyane Wade scored 42 points against the Cavaliers—32 in the second half—but even that wasn't enough to pull off something that hasn't happened in 14 games: a Miami win. LeBron James had 28 points and help from four teammates scoring in the double digits to put together a 97-90 victory, the Miami Herald reports. More »
