Ronald Murray’s three-pointer lifts Bobcats past Cavaliers, 91-88
Ronald Murray hit a three-point shot with 56 seconds left to put Charlotte up for good, and the Bobcats surprised the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 91-88 victory on Sunday night.
The loss ended the Cavaliers’ seven-game win streak and an 11-game winning streak at home.
Murray’s basket from the top of the key broke an 83-all tie, sparking the Bobcats to their second impressive road win in as many days after a 107-97 win over Miami on Saturday night. Charlotte is 3-14 away from home.
Stephen Jackson led Charlotte with 22 points, Gerald Wallace added 19 and Raymond Felton had 17.
LeBron James, who missed a potential tying three-pointer as time expired, scored 29 points for the Cavaliers and Mo Williams added 27. Shaquille O’Neal had 10.
The victory was the Bobcats’ first at Quicken Loans Arena, where they had lost 10 straight. Charlotte has won two of three against Cleveland this season, including a 94-87 win at home on Nov. 27.
