Basket-ball NBA: Luol Deng, Anthony Bennett and the Cavs beat Kings -Video

nthdPost Chris Grant Cleveland is a winning Cleveland. The Cavs have composted last night their third straight victory since the dismissal of their GM. With 5 players with over 13 points, the Cavaliers dominated the Sacramento Kings, 109-99.

For this victory of the franchise in Ohio, Luol Deng scored 22 points despite a sore at Achilles tendon, Tristan Thompson finished in double-double (21 pts, 10 rebounds). Flops of the draft in 2013 and main reason for the dismissal of Grant, Anthony Bennett (1st pick in the draft) was impressive with 19 points, 10 rebounds off the bench.

“Bennett kicked us behind tonight, and I’m sure Chris Grant ( former GM) should smile at him because he was his choice, he believed in him, and he gets his career high in points and … rebounds against us,” says Mike Malone, the coach of the Kings.

The Ohio Cavaliers (19v, 33d) are 5 wins adrift of the last playoffs ticket of the Eastern Conference. Quite an original award was promised to them in case of qualification.
