Wade Washes Over Blazers in the Fourth, Cavaliers Win

Damian Lillard returned to the Portland Trail Blazers starting lineup tonight following a five-game absence due to injury. As luck had it, he was just in the nick of time to face LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. For three quarters Lillard and the Blazers gave a mighty effort, holding steady behind deadly strikes from Lillard and backcourt mate CJ McCollum. But the fourth quarter proved fatal for the fading Blazers as Dwyane Wade gave Father Time a noogie, stepped off the bench, and poured in enough points to give the Cavaliers a 127-110 victory in what had once been a close game.
