The Portland Trail Blazers (12 - 20) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (19 - 9) 105 - 76 on Saturday. Cleveland dropped their second straight, as part of a four game road trip that started at the Warriors on Christmas Day. The Cavs looked exhausted, and were without point guard Kyrie Irving (rest), who just returned from a knee injury stemming back to the NBA Finals. LeBron James struggled with his jump shot all night and finished with 12 points, four rebounds and five assists on 4 - of - 13 shooting. The all star forward also failed to contribute a 3 - pointer after misfiring three attempts. The loss is not entirely on James, as the team struggled as a whole. Kevin Love scored 13 points, to go along with five rebounds, while Matthew Dellavedova added 10 points on 2 - of - 4 3 - point shooting. Richard Jefferson provided 10 points off the bench, which rounded out the only players in double figures for the Cavs. Cleveland shot 36 from the floor and committed 17 turnovers (compared to the Blazers 9 turnovers) in the losing effort. Cleveland will look to bounce back when they visit the Phoenix Suns (12 - 19) on Monday. Portland was without Damian Lillard (foot), who missed only his third career game, but received an all around strong shooting performance from the starters in his absence. Allen Crabbe led all scorers with 26 points on 8 - of - 15 shooting, and C.J. McCollum pitched in a volume effort that resulted in 16 points, four rebounds and six assists. Meyers Leonard, Mason Plumlee and Al-Farouq Aminu finished in double figures to aid the Lillard-less Blazers. Portland took care of the ball, spaced the floor and took advantage of a tired Cavs team. The bench was not entirely efficient, but the Blazers shot 46 percent from the floor and continued to push the pace to keep a double digit lead for three quarters of play. Portland will visit the Sacramento Kings (12 - 17) on Sunday.
