CLEVELAND - The pieces, old and new, are beginning to fit together.Its taken some time, and theres a long way to go. But the critiqued and criticized Cavaliers are starting to play like the team they were supposed to be.I like the way weve been the last few games, LeBron James said following a 108-94 win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. I like the way weve played the last week. Weve played some really, really good basketball.James scored 26 points and J.R. Smith added 20 as the Cavs, remodeled by two trades in recent weeks, entered a favourable portion of their schedule with their third straight win.Back home after salvaging a drama-filled trip out West with two wins in Los Angeles, the Cavs had little trouble with the Central Division-leading Bulls. Cleveland opened a 25-point lead in the third quarter and handed Chicago its fourth loss in five games.Jimmy Butler scored 20 and Derrick Rose 18 for the Bulls, who played their third game in a row without starting centre Joakim Noah (sprained ankle). Chicago has dropped six of eight, and coach Tom Thibodeau doesnt like what hes seen from his team lately.Weve got to decide when enough is enough, a disgusted Thibodeau said. Weve got to get better. Its really that simple. The way were playing is not acceptable, so we have to change it.Smith made six 3-pointers, Kyrie Irving scored 18 with 12 assists and Kevin Love added 16 points and 12 rebounds for the Cavs, who have temporarily quieted talk that theyre not NBA title contenders and first-year coach David Blatt is in trouble. Cleveland can improve its record with three more home games this week and nine of its next 12 in Quicken Loans Arena.This was our best defensive game of the year, said Blatt, who dismissed some recent negative analysis of his team. We have a long way to go but the ship is sailing in the right direction.Cavs centre Timofey Mozgov scored 15 with 15 rebounds in his first home game for Cleveland since being acquired in a Jan. 7 trade from Denver.Playing his fourth game since missing eight with a strained back and knee, James didnt have to carry the offensive load as Clevelands other starters combined for 69 points. And, the Cavs played with better energy on defence, which hasnt been the case most of the season.Leading by 15 at halftime, the Cavs opened the third with a 10-2 run to open a 23-point lead. Love and Smith drained 3-pointers in the spurt that wobbled the Bulls. Chicago got to 90-78 in the fourth, but James scored on a drive and Smith drilled a 3 to put the Cavs back in control.If we dont have that edge, were going to continue to get our butt whupped, said Rose, who sat out the fourth quarter. Basketball should be fun. It seems like were overthinking.Rose missed his first seven shots and didnt make his first field goal until there was 1:10 left in the first half.___SECOND CITYBulls G Kirk Hinrich didnt score in 26 minutes. ... Chicago has a tough stretch ahead with games vs. San Antonio, Dallas, Miami and Golden State. Were halfway through the season, Thibodeau said. Somehow the notion that its OK, well be all right — no, no, it doesnt work like that. This is what we have. Its on us to figure it out. No ones coming in to save the day. Weve got to find the answer.TIP-INSBulls: Rose came in averaging 25.5 points and 8.0 assists in his previous four games. Thibodeau believes Rose is finally getting back to form after two injury-plagued seasons. Hes gaining confidence, Thibodeau said. I think he was going through a long period of time where he wasnt playing and just getting that competitive edge back. Thats what made him so special prior to the injuries. When hes like that, no opponent wants to see him. ... The Bulls are 15-6 on the road. ... F Mike Dunleavy missed his 10th straight game with an injured ankle.Cavaliers: G Iman Shumpert, who hasnt played since being acquired in a recent trade with New York, could make his Cleveland debut later this week from a dislocated left shoulder. Shumpert has participated in contact drills the past two days, and Blatt said its even possible the solid defender could start immediately. ... Fresh off Ohio States national championship, Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer and starting quarterback Cardale Jones — a Cleveland native — were introduced to thunderous ovations. Before the game, Meyer visited with Irving and owner Dan Gilbert, a Michigan State alum.UP NEXTBulls: Host San Antonio on Thursday.Cavaliers: Host Utah on Wednesday. Winnipeg Jets Jerseys .

Lawyers for Sterling plan to argue Monday that Shelly Sterling had no right to make the deal with Ballmer, even though Donald Sterling had given her written authority to pursue a sale. The attorneys also say she tricked Donald Sterling into taking mental exams that found he had signs of the onset of Alzheimers disease. That finding was sufficient for Sterling to be removed as a trustee of the Sterling Family Trust and to allow Shelly Sterling to move forward with the sale of the team. Later in the process, however, Donald Sterling tried to stop the sale by dissolving the trust. Lawyers for Shelley Sterling urged the judge to allow the sale to go forward so a contract can be in place before NBA owners meet on Aug. 15. Lawyers spent the better part of a month questioning witnesses at the trial, and on Monday will try to persuade a judge to agree with their respective positions. Shelly Sterlings lawyers along with an attorney for Ballmer filed a voluminous legal brief citing case law that they say proves that Donald Sterling did not have the right to dissolve the trust that owned the Clippers. They urged the judge to allow the sale to occur and reject any delay if appeals are filed. "The trust has a golden bird in the hand," the brief said. "A sale of the Clippers for $2 billion is indisputably a bonanza for the Sterling family. Donalds strident opposition is motivated by only selfish considerations. This court has the power to make this precedent-setting sale happen." The 49-page document notes that if the sale is ordered,, it also could be delayed by numerous legal provisions in the probate code allowing review of the ruling.dddddddddddd The lawyers urged Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas to streamline the procedure. They cited 80-year-old Sterlings vow on the witness stand to continue suing the NBA for the rest of his life and noted his threat to seek an injunction to stop the sale if the judge rules against him. Donald Sterling was removed as a trustee after his wife had him examined by two doctors who found he lacked the mental capacity to handle his own business affairs. His lawyers filed a 70-page brief that focused heavily on that point. They said the doctors were hand-picked by lawyers for Shelly Sterling and did not do adequate exams. Donald Sterling maintained he didnt know his competency as a trustee was being evaluated. His lawyers said in their brief that he appeared alert and able to express himself during his testimony and showed no signs of being incompetent. Still, Sterling spent much of his time on the witness stand shouting at attorneys for both sides, expressing his outrage at the NBA and its commissioner for trying to oust him from the league over racist recordings. At one point he called Shelly Sterling a "pig" as she left the witness stand. Donald Sterling has filed another lawsuit in state court against Shelly Sterling, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the league. Shelly Sterlings potentially record-breaking deal with Ballmer was struck after Donald Sterlings racist remarks to a girlfriend were recorded and publicized. The NBA moved to oust him as team owner, fined him $2.5 million and banned him for life. Shelly Sterling went to probate court to ensure that the sale she negotiated with Ballmer would go through.
