Cleveland lost a tough one in Houston Sunday night as James “The Golden Turd” Harden layed 38 on the Cavs along with 10 boards and 11 assists. Cleveland played tough till the third when a big Houston run saw the Cavs’ lsoe the quarter 32-19 and Houston held on to win in the fourth.

Not a Recap: Miami 120, Cleveland 92 (or, Why Can’t they Just Rest Everyone?)

Then they clamped down the defense to limit the Cavs to a 16 point second quarter while burying a barrage of threes triggered by superior ball movement and unconscious shooting to post a 67-51 first half lead. It was all downhill from there.
