CLEVELAND -- As shot after shot dropped through the net, it became clear LeBron James was going to have one of those special nights. Devin Funchess Womens Jersey . The kind he has every so often. The kind he has when Dwyane Wade sits. James scored 43 points -- 25 in a bewildering first-quarter shooting display -- and Chris Bosh added 21, leading the Miami Heat to a 100-96 win Tuesday night over the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played their first game without injured All-Star guard Kyrie Irving. With Wade out resting his sore knees, James took it upon himself to carry the Heat. The same thing happened on March 3 and James responded by scoring a career-high 61 against Charlotte. "I dont know, its one of those zones," James said, trying to explain how he made 10 of 11 shot and five 3-pointers in the dizzying opening quarter. "When I started the game off, I felt like I could have gone for 50 or 60." James added two crucial blocks and dropped six free throws in the final two minutes, and Bosh had a key rejection to lead the Heat to just their third win in eight games. With Wade out, the Heats two other megastars picked up the slack. Jarrett Jack scored 22 and Dion Waiters added 17 and 11 assists for Cleveland, which was also without starting forward Luol Deng (sprained ankle). Irvings expected to miss two weeks with a strained biceps tendon, an injury that further damages the Cavs fading playoff hopes. Cleveland fell six games behind Atlanta for the final playoff spot. "Our guys hung in there and they competed," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. After one quarter, it was: James 25, Cavs 25. And like the other 20,000 plus in attendance, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra marveled at James accuracy. "That had nothing to do with me," Spoelstra said. "Truth be told, its not like Im absolutely in love with those type of plays, but he had it rolling. So I took a step back for a little bit." The four-time MVP had 31 points at halftime and 37 after three quarters, but the Heat entered the final 12 minutes tied as they were unable to shake off the Cavs, who shot 60 per cent from the floor through three and had all five starters in double figures. With James content to distribute the ball, Bosh scored nine straight points to put Miami ahead 93-88 with 2:24 remaining. Cleveland cut it to three on a basket by Anderson Varejao and had a chance to get closer but James -- with an assist from Udonis Haslem -- snuffed a dunk attempt by Spencer Hawes. Just 11 seconds later, Bosh turned away Waiters and James made a pair of free throws to make it 95-90 with 1:06 remaining. After empty possessions by both teams, James blocked a drive by Waiters and Bosh split a pair of free throws, giving the Heat a 96-90 lead. Jack made two 3-pointers in the final 15.7 seconds, but both times James answered by hitting two free throws to close it out. Spoelstra was most pleased with Miamis defence down the stretch. "Probably my favourite play was the double block," he said. "U.D. and L.J. going for that. It should be a layup. It should be a dunk. To make that play, those are the things I like to see." James improved to 13-1 against the Cavaliers, the team he left after seven seasons as a free agent in 2010. James made his first six shots -- four of them 3s -- and showed most of his offensive repertoire in the first quarter. He hit fadeaways, runners and a thunderous breakaway dunk. The only shot James missed came on a "heat-check" 3-pointer from way beyond the arc. "Thats what makes LeBron unique in this league," Spoelstra said. "In todays age, there are players who would be looking for numbers with that type of start to see if you can go for 70. LeBrons just trying to play the game the right way. It takes great maturity. Hes selfless." It was James second visit to Cleveland in 10 days. He had been back on March 8, when former teammate Zydrunas Ilgauskas had his jersey retired by the Cavs, who may one day raise the No. 23 James wore to the rafters of Quicken Loans Arena. Much pregame hype focused on the All-Stars future. James can opt out of his contract with Miami this summer and become a free agent, and one of his possible destinations could be Cleveland. Asked directly if he wants to play for his former team again, James was noncommittal. "As of right now, its too hard for me to think about," he said. "We have 20 or less games before we gear up for no sleep for two months, hopefully. So for me to try and take my mind somewhere else when I know whats on its way is almost impossible." NOTES: Wade will be re-evaluated Wednesday when the Heat visit Boston. ... James has yet to fill out his NCAA tournament brackets and didnt seem to be in a hurry to do it anytime soon. "Im terrible," he said. He was then reminded about the $1 billion Gilbert and tycoon Warren Buffett are offering for anyone who picks the games perfectly. Doesnt he want the billion? "No," James said. "Im just going to ask him for it." Its unclear whether he meant Gilbert or Buffett. ... Spoelstra intends to keep C Greg Oden in the starting lineup, a drastic change for Miami, which has favoured smaller, shooter-heavy lineups. Oden made his third start and finished with six points in 14 minutes. Kelvin Benjamin Youth Jersey . -- James Harden scored 31 points, including 25 in the second half, and the Houston Rockets dug out of a double-digit, first-half hole to beat the Orlando Magic 101-89 on Wednesday night. Bene Benwikere Jersey . The 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner will start Sunday nights series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants held a half-game division lead in the NL West against their rival going into Saturday nights middle game at AT&T Park. http://www.footballpanthersonline.com/super-bowl-xlix-luke-kuechly-jersey/ . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. VANCOUVER -- Suffering their worst loss of the season to the best team in the league gave the Vancouver Whitecaps an idea of how much they need to improve to be competitive in Major League Soccer. Landon Donovan scored two goals, one off a penalty kick, and assisted on another as the L.A. Galaxy embarrassed the Whitecaps 4-0 Saturday on their home turf at Empire Field. For 30 minutes the expansion Whitecaps held their own. But any thoughts of an upset quickly disappeared after Donovan scored his first goal in the 61st minute. "It just started to go south," said Vancouver midfielder Peter Vagenas, who came on as a second-half substitution. "We gave up truly three amateur level goals. "At some point . . . its got to sting your ego a bit. Youre not going to be in this league, on this team or being paid to do this, if you line up a lot of losses like this. At some point its about personal pride. I can assure you, guys are pretty devastated right now." Midfielder Sean Franklin in the 85th minute and Adam Cristman in the 90th minute also scored for the Galaxy. It was the fourth time in five games L.A. has won in a shutout. A sellout crowd of 27,500 filled the stands at Empire Field on a warm summer afternoon. They were denied the chance to see Galaxy superstar David Beckham, who was serving a one-game suspension after accumulating eight yellow cards on the season. The game was a battle of first against worst. The Galaxy lead the league with a 12-2-9 record. They are riding the crest of a 8-0-6 unbeaten streak. The Whitecaps are last in the MLS with a 2-11-9 record. Vancouver is 0-5-1 since a June 18 win over Philadelphia at home. It was the first time this season Vancouver allowed four goals. Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said the Whitecaps are a better team than the lopsided loss indicated. Striker Eric Hassli missed on a couple of scoring chances, midfielder Shea Salinas fired a rocket that L.A. goalkeeper Josh Saunders just managed to get a hand on, and forward Mustopha Jarju had a ball roll off the tip of his boot. "I think Vancouver has a good team," said Arena. "I dont think they are a team that should stand with two wins. "I think they played pretty well at times this year and have been unfortunate. They have a good nucleus and have a bright future." Donovan said he was impressed by Hassli and play-making midfielder Davide Chiumiento. "They have a handful of guys that are good players," said Donovan, who sat out this weeks all-star game with a calf injury. "Its going to takke time. Devin Funchess Youth Jersey. "Its not easy in this league. There are teams like ourselves that have guys together for a long time. Its going to take time for them to jell." Donovans first goal came when he took advantage of a fall by Whitecaps defender Michael Boxall. The L.A. captain took a long pass from Franklin, let the ball bounce off his chest, then chipped a shot past Vancouver goalkeeper Joe Cannon. He celebrated by blowing kisses into the stands, then bowing to the booing crowd. His second goal came after referee Baldomero Toledo called Vancouver defender Jordan Harvey for a hand ball. Donovan struck the ball home for his 11th goal of the season, bringing another round of boos. Franklin scored on a crossing pass from Donovan, then Cristman added to the agony with a header. "In the first half I thought Landon was quiet," said Arena. "In the second half he was real loud." Donovan said the Galaxy had the luxury of being patient. "They are a team that is desperate and they need to win games," he said. "We knew if we were patient and kept the game at 0-0, or in our favour, it was going to benefit us. "Getting the first goal was real important. We knew if we were smart and passed the ball, we were going to get a number of chances." It was a match where the Whitecaps showed flashes of the team they could be. The smoke from the pre-game fireworks was still drifting away from the stadium when Hassli fed a pretty pass into the box for Jarju, but the forward from Gambia fired the ball over the net. A few minutes later Salinas sent a ball through the Galaxy defence that just rolled off Jarjus toe. "Everybody is pretty decimated about how it broke down in the end," said Vancouver coach Tom Soehn. "We did a lot of positive things. We could have taken the lead, but then things fell apart. Its back to the drawing board." It was the second time this year one of the marquee teams in MLS came to Vancouver without its biggest draw. In May, a knee injury kept Thierry Henry out of the New York Red Bulls lineup when they tied the Whitecaps 1-1 in Vancouver. NOTES: Vancouvers Omar Salgado missed the match playing for the U.S. U-17 team. ...Hassli has scored two goals in a game three times this season. ...It was the first MLS meeting between the teams but the Whitecaps have played the Galaxy twice in exhibition. A crowd of 48,172 watched the teams tie 0-0 at B.C. Place on Nov. 7, 2007, and Vancouver beat L.A. 2-1 before a crowd of 37,104 in Edmonton on May 13, 2008. cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys Ray Ban Outlet Michael Kors Outlet Michael Kors Sale Cheap Michael Kors ' ' '
