Kelly, Chudzinski, & Plan B….Was There One?
January 11, 2013Report: Norv Turner To Be Named Browns’ Offensive Coordinator
January 12, 2013You turn the page, but the ink’s soaked through again. The Cavaliers played a truly excellent first half tonight in a tough place to win, but they fell back to earth in the second half and gave the game away late with some defensive lapses and offensive stagnancy as the Nuggets held on 98-91 in the Pepsi Center. Kyrie Irving led the charge with 28 points, 7 assists, and 5 steals while playing with the flu that caused him to miss shootaround earlier today. Dion Waiters added 18 points, and Tristan Thompson had a nice first quarter and finished with 16 points and 7 rebounds. For Denver, Kosta Koufos consistently found open holes in the defense and gashed them for a career-high 21 points. Danilo Gallinari added 23 points, including the 3-point dagger to put the Nuggets up five in the final minute. The Cavaliers held a 11-point halftime lead but scored just 35 points in the second half. The Cavaliers are now 9-29 after dropping game one of the five-game West Coast swing and head to Los Angeles where they’ll face the Lakers on Sunday night.
