Ballin': LeBron Tweets About Cavs' 55-Point Loss
By Jason McIntyre
San Antonio 107, Minnesota 96: The Spurs’ bench hit 6-of-11 threes and improved to 4-0 this season against the improving-but-still-crummy (9-30) Wolves. With Michael Beasley cooling off after a hot start to the season – just one 20+ point effort in six games this month – the only name worth mentioning is Kevin Love, who went for 20 points and 20 rebounds.
Washington 136, Sacramento 133, OT: The no-defense playing Kings rallied late in the 4th with a 7-1 run in the final 14 seconds to force overtime, but the Wizards hung on to win when DeMarcus Cousins missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer. In the battle of former Kentucky Wildcat teammates, Cousins had 10 points and eight rebounds; John Wall scored 22 points and dished out nine assists. Nick Young dropped a career-high 43 points for the Wizards.
LA Lakers 112, Cleveland 57: Phil Jackson said he was excited about seeing a bunch of players he’s never heard of … and then his Lakers delivered such a bad beating, LeBron even tweeted about it. LA led 92-41 after three quarters. The loss – Cleveland’s 11th in a row – set all sorts of dubious records.
Denver 132, Phoenix 98: After an early double-digit deficit, the Nuggets blitzed the Suns 82-40 in the second and third quarters to win what could be Carmelo Anthony’s final home game. ‘Melo scored 28. JR Smith dunked and dougie’d.
