Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Kyrie Irving scored the deciding basket with
one second left as the Cleveland Cavaliers edged the Charlotte Bobcats,
106-104, at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Cleveland blew an 18-point third-quarter lead but still managed to halt a
three-game losing streak mostly because of Irving, with the reigning NBA
Rookie of the Year recording 14 of his game-high 33 points over the final 4
1/2 minutes.
Tristan Thompson also helped the Cavs notch only their fourth win in 18 games
by compiling a season-best 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting and pulling down 13
rebounds. C.J. Miles contributed 18 points to the triumph.
Ben Gordon led Charlotte's near-comeback by pouring in 11 of his 27 points in
the fourth quarter, but the Bobcats couldn't come up with a second consecutive
victory after ending their 18-game skid with Monday's 91-81 decision at
Chicago.
Ramon Sessions added 20 points for Charlotte, while Gerald Henderson hit 4-
of-5 attempts from 3-point range en route to 17 points.
