<div align="center"> @ </div> LA Clippers (32-38) at Cleveland (36-32) 7:00 pm EST CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- After snapping their 11-game road losing streak, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers hope to continue the momentum at home Tuesday when they host the Los Angeles Clippers. The Cavaliers posted their first road victory since January 22 on Monday with a 109-108 triumph over the New Orleans Hornets. James scored 17 of his 44 points in the fourth quarter, when Cleveland erased a 17-point deficit. Drew Gooden collected 11 points and 11 rebounds and converted a three-point play with six seconds left in the extra period. It was just Cleveland's second win in seven games. Despite the slide, Cleveland is still in sixth place in the tight Eastern Conference playoff race, two games ahead of eighth-place Philadelphia and 2 1/2 behind fourth-place Washington. The Clippers opened their seven-game road trip Sunday with an 89-85 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Trailing by 10 points in the fourth quarter, Los Angeles evened the score, 80-80, on a jumper by Elton Brand with 3:10 left, but was unable to move ahead. Brand scored 25 points for the Clippers, who are 7-25 away from home this season.
Stupid road games. Cleveland will come out with intensity at home as they've been terrible on the road lately, and have to win somewhere. I don't see a win in this one, should be a hard fought game though.
Down by 11 at the half. Same old Clippers on the road. Well, they should be down by 20...so there is still hope!
