What a phenomenal game last night in the NBA between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Cleveland Cavs. The Clippers entered the game on a 6 game losing streak and missing a few of their players due to injury. The Cavs entered the game on a 3 game winning streak. But this one came down to the wire.
In the first and second quarter both teams went back and forth with the lead. But after being all tied up at the half, the Clippers built a 14 point lead in the 3rd quarter. Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan both had to have monster games to compete with the Cavs and they each answered the call. Griffin had 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists. Jordan had his best game of the year with 20 points and 22 rebounds.
Lebron James was also on his game last night. With a few minutes left in the 3rd quarter, Lebron flipped the switch to a whole new level. He dominated the rest of the game and brought the Cavs to within 3 points at 105-102. With under a minute left in the game Lebron launched a 30 foot 3 that banged off the rim. But the Cavs got the rebound and James got a wide open look and tied the game and forced OT.
Overtime was all about the Cavs. J.R. Smith drove the lane for an easy dunk, Kevin Love drained a 3, and Lebron finished the Clippers off with a fade away jumper giving the Cavs the 118-113 win. Lebron ended his night with 39 points and 14 rebounds. He gets the next 2 nights off before they play in Detroit on Monday.
