adminLOS ANGELES. — The Portland Trail Blazers crushed LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-76 on a topsy-turvy day in the NBA that saw the Philadelphia 76ers notch their second win of the basketball season. In Portland, Allen Crabbe scored 21 of his career-high 26 points in the first half to put the Trail Blazers on the road to ending a five-game losing streak.
“Anybody see that coming?” asked Portland coach Terry Stotts. “That’s one of the things I love about the NBA. Anything can happen.” Guard CJ McCollum had 16 points and six assists for Portland, who held Cleveland’s “King” James to just 12 points – which matched his season low.
James missed his first four shots and had just six points by halftime. Kevin Love had 13 points for the Cavaliers, with Australia’s Matthew Dellavedova and Richard Jefferson contributing 10 points apiece. — AFP.
