Preview Roundups
December 04, 2014
Cleveland at New York 8:00 PM ET
Cleveland may have turned around its season at home and now will try to maintain its momentum on the road with a visit to the slumping New York Knicks on Thursday. The Cavaliers, who began their campaign with a 95-90 loss to New York at home, took the final four games of a five-game homestand to match their high-water mark at two games above .500. Cleveland's trio of stars - LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving - combined for 81 points in a 111-108 win over Milwaukee on Tuesday.
Indiana at Portland 10:00 PM ET
The Portland Trail Blazers seek their 12th victory in 13 games when they host the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. Portland had to work to get past Denver on Tuesday as center Robin Lopez scored the tiebreaking basket with 1.3 seconds left in a 105-103 win. Indiana has been battling through injuries and that made dealing with speedy Phoenix a chore as the Pacers went down to a 116-99 defeat on Tuesday.
New Orleans at Golden State 10:30 PM ET
The Golden State Warriors are off to the best start in franchise history and are staring down their longest winning streak ever. The Warriors will try to match the 1971-72 squad for the longest streak in history by taking their 11th when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. The streak was in jeopardy against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday until Stephen Curry buried a go-ahead 3-pointer in transition in the final seconds.
