NBA schedule and results: Cavaliers top Warriors in showdown

Russ gets super mad when you leave him hanging, but he’ll still pay the snub forward:

Nice of Andre Roberson -- who also got left hanging -- to turn around and complete KD’s high five for him.

James scored a season-high 42 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and dished five assists in the win. James was aggressive from the start with 24 points in the first half, and he remained an efficient, unstoppable offensive force throughout the night.

Here are three things we learned from the game:

It hasn’t been a good third quarter for the Warriors, but at least they got one highlight out of it.

The best part? Delly holding on FOR DEAR LIFE while Iguodala shakes him onto the floor:

Looks like one of those dummies trying to catch the llamas today.

You’re not just gonna *take* the ball from him:

Garnett only played 19 minutes, but of course his presence was felt in the building the entire night by fans, players and even observers. He finished with five points and eight rebounds. It could have been 40 and 20 and it still may have fallen short of the impact the energy of him being back bought to everyone in the arena.

The Timberwolves’ season is lost, but Garnett’s return gives the fans something to cheer for and the players somebody to try and impress in the season’s final two months. Sometimes, basketball really does hold sentimental value, and Garnett’s trade and return to the Timberwolves this season is special.
