Cleveland 87, Los
Angeles Clippers 83
We'll get to LeBron's night in a little bit. To begin,
though, we need to get up on the wrong side of bed, if you know what I mean.
Somehow, this game made me dislike the Los Angeles Clippers

... Ball Don’t Lie Behind the Box Score: ”If you’re still assuming, you’re probably right about this one. Just as bad as you’d think it was. Both teams played very hard, make no mistake, and you can’t beat a close NBA game, but this was just drudgery to watch at times because of the talent limitations and the youth involved.
