(SportsNetwork.com) - The Cleveland Cavaliers have won two of their last three, but will face a stiff challenge Sunday when the Memphis Grizzlies pay a visit to Quicken Loans Arena. The Cavs are 2-1 on this five-game homestand which ends Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Cleveland rebounded from an embarrassing loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday with a four-point victory Friday over the Brooklyn Nets. Mike Miller scored a season-high 21 points in a rare start and the Cavaliers bounced back from their worst loss of the season with a 95-91 win over the Nets. Miller hit 7-of-8 from behind the arc in his first start of the season and LeBron James scored 22 points with nine assists for Cleveland, which was coming off a 29-point home loss to Atlanta on Wednesday. Hes a professional guy, you can always count on him, James said of Miller. His ability to shoot the ball gives us so much more of a dynamic out there. Miller, who hadnt played since Dec. 4, had just 19 points in 13 games all season before Friday. Kyrie Irving chipped in 16 while Kevin Love had his worst shooting performance in a Cavs uniform, going 1-for-10 for six points. Love, however, finished with a game-high 14 rebounds. The Grizzlies had a six-game winning streak snapped on Friday night with a 103-97 home loss against the Chicago Bulls. Memphis has won two straight on the road. Mike Conley deposited 21 points on 7-of-18 shooting and Beno Udrih posted 15 points in the setback. Memphis was coming off a triple-overtime road win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Tonight we didnt have enough effort for the most part because of very tired legs, Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger. We couldnt get inside their defense... We have to tip our hats to them. They are a good team. Grizzlies center Marc Gasol contributed 13 points with 10 rebounds, while his brother, Pau, was held to six points to go along with 11 rebounds for Chicago. Memphis managed to cut its eight-point halftime deficit to 73-66 after three quarters. The Grizzlies got it to a two-point game, but ETwaun Moore, a seldom-used Chicago reserve, hit two free throws with 53 seconds left. Chicago hung on for the win after Conley missed a 3-pointer. The Bulls held the Grizzlies to 2-for-13 shooting from beyond the arc. Grizzlies guard Tony Allen missed the game with a right corneal abrasion The Grizzlies have won five of the last six meetings with the Cavaliers, but Cleveland has won eight of the last nine matchups with Memphis as the host.

Josh Allen Jersey .com) - John Wall had 15 points, 12 assists and four steals as the Washington Wizards defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 92-85 on Monday night.Its one of my biggest pet peeves in football and it happens all over the world and it happens often. Moreover, it makes the game a little less beautiful. I call it the "deliberate handball swindle." A player, believing hes been fouled, grabs the ball while falling to the ground, forcing the referee into making a decision in the players favour. As a long suffering observer of CONCACAF, Ill cynically assume that this technique originated in Central America and spread like a disease to the rest of the world. Unfortunately, FIFA has allowed the plague to fester...until recently it seems. More and more, we are seeing officials make the correct decision, by giving a free kick in the other direction, while brandishing the yellow card that is automatically awarded for intentionally handling the ball. Unfortunately for Whitecaps fans, it was a Vancouver player that fell victim to that modern interpretation and, because Mattias Laba was already in the book, it was an indisputable sending off in the Whitecaps 2-1 loss to Colorado Rapids on Saturday. Was Laba pulled back by Nick Labrocca in the 77th minute and might a foul have been awarded? Yes. But there were a full two steamboats between Laba tumbling to the ground and the Argentine midfielder grabbing the ball. Enough time for the referee to blow his whistle, which he didnt, and enough time for Laba to consider the circumstances - already on a yellow witth his team leading by a goal.dddddddddddd Perhaps in his home country, in front of a huge crowd, a referee might have caved to the con and we see that all the time. I sympathize with officials who are constantly being put in a position of having to interpret deceit. So for the good of the game, Im glad Ionnis Stavridis construed the law the way he did and I hope his contemporaries in the game consistently follow suit and react the same way in similar circumstances. There is part of me, though, that also wonders whether in this instance, if the referee knew right away that Laba was already on a yellow for a belligerent foul just 23 minutes earlier ,as there seemed to be hesitation between him showing the secnd yellow and then the red. If referees themselves strive for anonymity and the desire to let players decide games, then, upon reflection, perhaps Mr. Stavridis might have secretly wished he had just awarded a foul to Nick Labrocca and not influenced the game to that degree. But it doesnt change the fundamental issue - grabbing the ball to force a referee into a ruling falls under the same category as diving or, as its now known, “simulation." Its cheating plain and simple and if the Whitecaps truly want to live by their slogan “Our All, Our Honour”, maybe they need to learn from this incident and encourage players to think twice about employing one of the games most notorious swindles.
