PORTLAND, Ore. - Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts took it upon himself to address Damian Lillards night.You dont have to ask whats wrong with Damian anymore, Stotts said. Actually, you dont ever have to ask.That question was better asked about LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night.Lillard had a breakthrough with 27 points and Portland regained last seasons form with a 101-82 victory.The Blazers, who snapped a brief two-game losing streak, held James to just 11 points.Lillard had been nursing an abdominal strain but he started nonetheless and collected 15 points by halftime — after averaging just 13.7 points on 11-for-41 shooting in the first three games. The All-Star averaged 20.7 points last season.Its the same game that I have been playing, Lillard explained. The only difference was the shots went in.The Cavaliers, playing the first of a three-game Western Conference road swing, hadnt played since a 114-108 overtime victory at Chicago on Friday. They started fast but were doomed by poor-shooting nights by James (4 of 12) and Kyrie Irving (3 of 17).We have to understand what it takes to win. Its going to be a long process. Theres been a lot of losing basketball around here for a few years, James said.Wesley Matthews finished with 21 points for Portland.It felt really good to get back into the swing of things, Matthews said, and back to us.Kevin Love, who grew up in Oregon and played at Lake Oswego High School south of Portland, had his third straight double-double for Cleveland (1-2) with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Love and LaMarcus Aldridge — who finished with 16 points — battled much of the way.The Cavaliers made their first 10 shots and James hit consecutive 3-pointers to put Cleveland up 27-20 early. The Blazers answered with a 9-0 run.Lillard hit a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws and Portland led 55-50 at the break. He opened the second half with a dunk.Portland stretched the lead to 67-54 on Aldridges layup and led 76-69 going into the fourth. The Blazers led by as many as 19 points in the final period.James urged patience.Its like building a car from scratch. Ive done that before, he said. I hated the process, it got on my nerves. I sent it back to get repainted 100 times. But once it was completely finished I was excited about it.Lillard finished with five 3-pointers on 10 attempts and was a perfect 10 of 10 from the free throw line. That tied his career mark for most free throws in a game without a miss.I knew that eventually the ball would go in, he said. I just had to stick with it.___TIP-INSCavaliers: Coach David Blatt, who had a long coaching career overseas before he arrived in Cleveland, recalled how Blazers coach Terry Stotts once visited him in Istanbul to watch him work. Stotts was between jobs and studying different teams and coaches. It was mutually beneficial, Blatt said. ... Love has scored 20-plus points in his last seven games in Portland.Trail Blazers: F Joel Freeland was ruled out of his second straight game because of a left foot injury. ... The Blazers held a moment of silence before the game for former team president Herman Sarkowski, who stepped in with a last-minute investment that helped secure Portlands bid for the team in 1970. Sarkowski died Sunday in Seattle at age 89. ... Aldridge has a 13-3 advantage in games against Love.DEFENDING JAMES: While Aldridge and Love matched up, several players were assigned to James, including Matthews and Nicolas Batum. Hes arguably the best player in the game and hell go down as one of the greatest to ever play, so you just try to make everything difficult and tough for him, Matthews said.EARNEST ASSESSMENT: I just dont think we brought I dont think we brought intensity. I dont think we brought a kind of mindset to defend, and that caught up with us.UP NEXTCavaliers: Visit Utah on Wednesday.Trail Blazers: Host Dallas on Thursday. Christian Kirk Cardinals Jersey . He made that dream a reality Wednesday night. Olt, who grew up in Branford, Connecticut, attended UConn and made a nearly 2 1-2 hour trek to Boston a handful of times to watch the Red Sox, belted a two-run homer, one of four hit by Cubs in a 16-9 rout that completed a three-game interleague series sweep. Benson Mayowa Cardinals Jersey .com) - The Miami Heat stopped a four-game losing streak last time out and thats the same length slide their opponents Wednesday night, the Denver Nuggets, will try to halt when the two teams meet at the Pepsi Center. http://www.officialauthenticcardinalsshop.com/authentic-justin-pugh-jersey.html .com) - James van Riemsdyk had two goals with one assist to help the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 5-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night. Josh Bynes Cardinals Jersey . Hes just beginning to get similar results. The right-hander struggled after winning the honour in 2008 and 2009, but a retooling of his game has begun to pay off and has the San Francisco Giants thinking about the Lincecum of old. Mason Cole Jersey . MLB.com reported that the Dodgers locked the left-hander in for one year at $10 million with up to $4 million in incentives. SAN JOSE, Costa Rica -- Goalkeeper Keylor Navas and forwards Bryan Ruiz, Joel Campbell and Alvaro Saborio head the list of players named Monday to Costa Ricas preliminary 30-man squad for next months World Cup in Brazil. Coach Jorge Luis Pinto resisted naming any major surprises in the lineup and is using the same core of players who helped Costa Rica to qualify as the top team from the CONCACAF region. Pinto said he was happy to stick with his proven players and valued continuity in the team. "If we have to make changes, we will when the time comes," Pinto said. He said he will name his final 23-man squad on May 31, before the team travels to the United States for friendlies against Japan and Ireland. Pinto also confirmed that defender Bryan Oviedo of Everton will miss the cup with a broken left leg. Oviedo was injured in January and was not able to recover sufficiently to make the team. Costa Rica will be a heavy underdog to advance from a group containing England, Italy and Uruguay. The Central Americans will be appearing in their fourth World Cup, but merely picking up a point or two will be difficult against three teams near the top of the FIFA rrankings with seven World Cup titles between them.dddddddddddd Knocking one of the European giants out of the World Cup and matching its achievement of reaching the round of 16, which happened in 1990, would be a major accomplishment. ------ Squad: Goalkeepers: Keylor Navas (Levante), Patrick Pemberton (Alajuelense) Daniel Cambronero (Herediano), Esteban Alvarado (AZ Alkmaar).
