NBA -- Cavs end Hornets' four-game streak


PhilBoxing.com


CHARLOTTE, N.C. The visiting Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Charlotte Hornets ​in an exciting ​95-90 ​finale on Friday night at the Time Warner Cable Arena.

​LeBron James led ​Cleveland with ​25 points and 13 rebounds​ while​ Kevin Love added 18 points and ​six ​rebounds​.​ Richard Jefferson 13 points and Tristan Thompson grabbed 12 ​boards for the Cavs.

​The Cavs ​improved to ​ 4-4 on the road while the Hornets​, whose four-ga,e win streak was snapped, fell to ​ 4-1 in their 7​-game​ home ​stand​.

Kemba Walker ​finished with ​18 points ​for Charlotte while teammate ​Nicolas Batum added 17 points and eight rebounds. Al Jefferson and Marvin Williams ​accounted for ​11 and 10 points respectively.

The Hornets led most of the way and took a 76-72 advantage into the fourth quarter. But ​the Cavs took an 87-86 advantage at the ​6:37 ​mark of the fourth quarter.​

The last time James lost to a Charlotte team was Feb. 19, 2010, during his first stint with the Cavaliers. Since then his teams (Heat and Cavs) have won 23 straight games against franchises based in Charlotte - both the Hornets and Bobcats. He played in all but two of those​ encounters​.

The Hornets struggled in the fourth quarter, shooting ​just ​7 of 24 from the field and were 8​-​of​-​25 from 3-point range ​with​ 16 turnovers.

Cav​s center​ Timofey Mozgov returned to the starting lineup after missing the past three games with a strained right shoulder. He scored eight points in 18 minutes. Matthew Dellavedova also returned after missing a game with tightness in his left calf and had seven points in 33 minutes off the bench.
