Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - LeBron James joined Mark Price at the top of the Cleveland Cavaliers all-time 3-pointers made list in style. James go-ahead triple with 48.1 seconds left lifted the Cavaliers to a 105-101 win over the Toronto Raptors that upped Clevelands winning streak to eight games. The game was tied 99-99 before Kevin Love pump-faked from the left wing beyond the arc, dribbled to the left elbow and dished to James, who knocked down the trey from straightaway for the 802nd 3-pointer in his Cavs career. Kyle Lowry got the much larger Tristan Thompson guarding him on a switch at the other end on the left wing, but Thompson forced him to take a tough fadeaway from the left baseline and Lowrys shot hit the top of the backboard. Lowry was then called for an intentional foul on James Jones near midcourt, and James made the foul shot with 14.2 ticks remaining for a four-point cushion. Cleveland, though, was whistled for a 5-second violation on the ensuing inbounds. Terrence Ross dunk with 4.2 seconds to go cut the gap to 103-101, but Kyrie Irving sunk a pair of foul shots to seal the outcome. Toronto shot 58.1 percent (38-of-62) through the first three quarters and led by as many as 10 in the fourth, but Cleveland held the Raptors to a 30 percent (6-of-20) clip in the final frame. The Cavs outscored them 20-6 in the final 8:37.

Detroit Lions Jerseys .com) - Eric Fehr and Marcus Johansson each registered a pair of goals, as Washington spoiled the head coaching debut of Peter Horachek by picking up a 6-2 victory in Toronto on Wednesday.TEMPE, Ariz. - In the wake of Arizonas most one-sided loss in Bruce Arians time there, the coach says hes leaning toward starting rookie quarterback Logan Thomas in the regular-season finale.We need to find out what he can do for the future and the playoffs, if it were to come to that, Arians said at his day-after news conference Monday. Thats my job — to make sure that we cover every base.Arians insisted that starting Thomas no way would be a reflection in the way that Ryan played, only the chance for Logan to show that he can do something.Lindley completed 18 of 44 passes for 216 yards with one interception in Arizonas 35-6 loss to Seattle on Sunday night.Thomas would be the fourth quarterback to start for the Cardinals this season, third in the last three games.Sundays game at San Francisco has playoff implications. If the Cardinals win and Seattle loses at home to St. Louis, Arizona would win the NFC West and possibly the conferences No. 1 seed.Either a Cardinals loss or Seahawks win would relegate Arizona to a wild-card spot and a first-round game on the road, most likely as the No. 5 seed.Arians said he has very, very high optimism that Drew Stanton will be ready for the playoffs because he wants to be ready.Had he not had that minor setback last week, he would have probably tried to play in that one (against Seattle), Arians said. Theres no way Ill play him this week unless I have to.Stanton, who took over when Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending knee injury, sprained his right knee in Arizonas 12-6 win at St. Louis on Dec. 11. He practiced on a limited basis last Thursday, but experienced some swelling in the knee.We dont want to have another setback, Arians said. Hell work into practice some this week and get some action in practice.Arians said he didnt think nerves got to Lindley.I thought he was very calm, the coach said. He was handling his protections extrremely well.dddddddddddd It was just a matter of finding the open guy and being accurate.Thomas, a fourth-round draft pick out of Virginia Tech, is a mobile 6-foot-6 quarterback with a cannon arm. Accuracy and decision making are his issues, and the Cardinals had wanted to have him watch from the sidelines all season as the third-string quarterback behind Palmer and Stanton.But when Stanton took over for Palmer after a shoulder injury, then went down with a concussion at Denver, Thomas was forced into action. He completed an 81-yard touchdown pass to Andre Ellington, but his other seven throws fell incomplete.Two days after Palmers season-ending injury, the Cardinals signed Lindley off the San Diego practice squad. Lindley had been Arizonas No. 3 quarterback last season and was in training camp this year before losing the No. 3 job to Thomas.With Stanton out, Arians turned to Lindley, not Thomas, in the crucial game against Seattle, choosing not to send the rookie against the NFLs No. 1 defence.Now Thomas will get his first career start — unless he performs poorly in practice. Then Arians said he could make a change.And when the game begins, Arians vowed to keep the hook handy and replace Thomas with Lindley.Quarterback play was only one of the things that went haywire Sunday night. The running game never gained traction and had to be abandoned when the team fell so far behind. Kerwynn Williams, after gaining 175 yards in 25 carries the previous two games, carried two times for 4 yards.And that defence that prides itself as one of the NFLs best was shredded and overpowered, through the air and on the ground. The 596 yards allowed matched the second most in franchise history. Only the 1958 Chicago Cardinals gave up more, 683 against Pittsburgh.It was Arizonas third loss in five games after a 9-1 start.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
