Regular Season Round 73: Phoenix Suns - Cleveland C. 107-100
Date: January 13, 2015
The Cavaliers rallied from a 19-point third-quarter deficit in LeBron James' return to briefly take the lead, but still fell to the Phoenix Suns 107-100 Tuesday to fall below .500 for the first time since late November. James scored 33 in his return, J.R. Smith had 29 points and the Cavs rallied to tie the game at 88 midway through the fourth quarter before taking the lead with 7:20 to play. But Markieff Morris scored 35 points, including 11 in the fourth, and the Cavs lost for the 10th time in their last 12 games, including six in a row. 'It's the most difficult thing I've ever been through, James said prior to the game, referring to sitting amidst the losing. 'I hated the fact we were playing some pretty decent ball when I went out and we've just dropped a lot of games when I was out. Guys are hanging their heads low at times. We've just got to continue to work the habits and things we've built over the season. We've played some really good basketball, we've played some not good basketball. Obviously of late we haven't played really good basketball so hopefully we get back to it. The Suns shot 57 percent in the first half and scored 59 points, a recurring trend for Cavs opponents. The defense improved significantly late in the third quarter and into the fourth (the Suns shot 38 percent in the fourth), but it wasn't enough to pull a slumping team out of this dive. Shawn Marion also returned after missing the last two games with a strained hip, making this the healthiest the Cavs have been in weeks with more help on the way soon in Iman Shumpert. The Cavs fell to 19-20, under .500 for the first time since Nov. 24. They have 44 games left to rediscover their rhythm. Courtesy of: ohio.com
