Cavaliers Overpower Bucks, NBA Roundup

A dunk from LeBron James started a decisive run for the lethargic Cleveland Cavaliers. From there, the Central Division leaders overpowered the young Milwaukee Bucks. James scored 28 points, J.R. Smith had 23 and Cleveland began a three-game road trip with a 108-90 win on Sunday in Milwaukee.

The Cavaliers trailed by nine at halftime and 11 in the third quarter. The Bucks seemed rejuvenated on their home floor while looking to end a long losing streak.

Thunder 93, Heat 75

The best part of Russell Westbrook's game on Sunday might have been his defense on Dwyane Wade. And that says a lot about his work on Wade. Westbrook had 12 points, 10 rebounds and 17 assists for his second consecutive triple-double, leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 93-75 victory over the Miami Heat. Enes Kanter had 27 points and 12 rebounds for Oklahoma City, which has won three in a row. Rookie Mitch McGary scored 14 points, and Anthony Morrow had 12.

Raptors 106, Knicks 89

The Raptors gave All-Star guard Kyle Lowry the day off against the NBA's worst team, and wound up winning easily. That's not how it happened the last time Toronto faced the New York Knicks. DeMar DeRozan scored 23 points, Tyler Hansbrough added a season-high 18 and the Raptors won for the third time in four games, beating the Knicks 106-89 on Sunday afternoon.
