Red-Hot Raptors Rally Past Cavs

Wrap-Up – It’s a long season and the Cavaliers are eventually going to figure it out. But no team wants to drop one like Cleveland did to the Raptors at any point during the year – squandering an 18-point lead and losing by 17. That was the Wine and Gold’s fate on Saturday night as Toronto blew past the struggling Cavs in the final three quarters to take the 110-93 victory at The Q.
Kevin Love led five Cavaliers in double-figures, netting 23 points on 8-for-16 shooting, adding seven boards and a steal. Kyrie Irving followed up with 21 points and six assists. LeBron James notched 13 of his 15 points in the first three quarters, but – like most of the starters – and played less than six minutes in the fourth. LeBron doubled-up – adding 10 assists – joining Anderson Varejao, who posted his second double-double of the season with 13 points and a game-high 12 boards. - CLICK HERE to read full story.

There are game-changers and there are game-savers. World B. Free was both.
That might be turning back the clock. But the fact is this: fans will jam The Q on Saturday night to see LeBron James and Kyrie Irving and the rest of the Cavaliers. Moondog and Sir C.C. and the Cavalier Girls will perform and full-house will watch it all on something called a “Humongotron.” None of that might’ve ever happened without the man with in the muttonchops.
Born Lloyd Bernard Free, the two-guard also dubbed “The Prince of Mid-Air” made a name for himself on the Brooklyn schoolyards, where he first got his nickname “World” because of his 44-inch vertical leap and gravity-defying 360-degree dunks. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
