A big night from Kyrie couldn’t save Cleveland.

Squint your eyes hard enough and you would have thought prime Moses Malone donned a Pelicans jersey for an evening. Or even Anthony Davis.

But on a night when Davis sat due to injury, the Cavs made Terrence Jones look like the best of both players. Jones tied his career-high with 36 points (13-18 from the field) and tacked on 11 rebounds in the Pelicans 124-122 victory over the Cavaliers.

Mickey Mouse is unharmed.

Call it a tale of two halves. The Golden State Warriors looked tired and uninterested for most of the first half against the Orlando Magic, losing the second quarter 28-22 and giving up a massive 16-2 run in the process. The game was tied 50-50 at halftime.

Fortunately for us, Stephen Curry was there to save the day. The two-time reigning MVP scored 16 of his game-high 27 points in the third quarter, including a healthy “just because” 28-foot three point shot, as the Warriors ran the lead up to 26 before coasting to a 118-98 victory.

Paul George, Jeff Teague, and Thaddeus Young all had 19 for Indiana, but the Pacers never led in their loss to Utah. George Hill scored 30.

The Indiana Pacers finished their road trip with a whimper, dropping to the Utah Jazz in a wire-to-wire defeat. At 0-4 on the second night of road back-to-backs, the circumstances were difficult for the Pacers at the get-go, but there was little doubt in their level of play that they had no shot in winning the game.
