Cavaliers' losing streak hits 24 games in a row
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 07 - 02 - 2011

CLEVELAND: Cleveland's losing streak reached 24 games Saturday when Wesley Matthews scored 31 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 20 to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 111-105 win over the pitiful Cavaliers, who remain winless in 2011 and have lost a mind-boggling 34 of 35.
The Cavs, who have won just once since Nov. 27, now own both the single-season mark for consecutive losses and matched the record for overall losses in a row they previously set over two seasons (1981-82 and 1982-83). Cleveland nearly overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter, but once again failed to make plays down the stretch.
Antawn Jamison scored 17 for the Cavs, who will try to end their skid on Monday in Dallas.
Warriors 101, Bulls 90: At Oakland, California, Monta Ellis scored 33 points and Stephen Curry had 23 as Golden State snapped Chicago's six-game wining streak.
The tandem sparked a 15-0 run in the fourth quarter that sealed Golden State's third straight win in one of its more impressive defensive efforts of the season. Dorell Wright added 20 points and David Lee scored 13 for the Warriors.
Carlos Boozer had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Derrick Rose finished with a quiet 14 points and 10 assists for the Bulls.
Lakers 101, Hornets 95: At New Orleans, Pau Gasol had a season-high 34 points to go with 10 rebounds, powering the Los Angeles Lakers past New Orleans.
Kobe Bryant added 32 points, including a 3-pointer with 3:20 left to give the Lakers the lead for good.
Chris Paul had 21 points and 15 assists as the Hornets, without starters Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza, clawed back from a deficit as large as 14 to take a couple brief leads in the second half.
Mavericks 101, Bobcats 92: At Charlotte, North Carolina, Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 points and Tyson Chandler grabbed 15 rebounds against his former team as Dallas beat harlotte to extend the NBA's longest active winning streak to eight.
Jason Terry added 21 points for the Mavericks, who have been on a roll since Nowitzki returned from a knee injury.
D.J. Augustin scored 21 points and Stephen Jackson added 17 on a poor shooting night for the 7-year-old Bobcats, who have beaten every other team in the league.
Nuggets 113, Timberwolves 100: At Minneapolis, Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points and J.R.
Smith had 10 of his 14 points in the final seven minutes to lift Denver over Minnesota. Chauncey Billups added 21 points and 13 assists for his first double-double of the season and Arron Afflalo scored 22 points for Denver, which shot 54.4 percent against Minnesota's woeful defense.
Newly chosen All-Star Kevin Love had 18 points and 19 rebounds for the Timberwolves, while Michael Beasley had 23 points and five assists. Anthony left the game briefly in the fourth quarter with an apparent injury to his right elbow and did not score in the final 12 minutes.
Pistons 89, Bucks 78: At Milwaukee, reserve Richard Hamilton scored 15 points in his first game since Jan. 10 and Tracy McGrady added 20, helping Detroit past Milwaukee.
Thunder 121, Jazz 105: At Salt Lake City, Russell Westbrook scored 33 points as Oklahoma City earned its fifth win in six games.
Rockets 95, Grizzlies 93, OT: At Houston, Kevin Martin scored 31 points, including 15-for-15 shooting from the free-throw line, as Houston won for the first time in six overtime games this year.
Hawks 99, Wizards 92: At Washington, Josh Smith scored 29 points and added a season-high 16 rebounds to lead Atlanta past Washington.
