Cleveland pulled off the 83-74 upset of Toronto today, thanks to a mistake-filled game. "We stank," said losing coach Bob. "We beat them around like high-schoolers whenever we played like we usually do, but that wasn't often enough. There's just no excuse for that type of play. I suppose we just got overconfident; I mean Toronto isn't exactly a top-notch team. But we sure stank it up out there."

Cleveland coach Bob focused more on the positives. "Bob can say what he wants, but we really managed to knock them out of their usual plan. Would that have happened if they weren't playing anybody? He makes it sound like they gave the game away, but the truth is that we played with them the whole way and were in position to capitalize when our chances came."

Cleveland was led by Powell (16 points, 21 boards, 2 assists), Day (22 points, 1 assists, a block), Courtney (8 points, 2 steals). Toronto was led by Wright (19 points, 18 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Muse (16 points, a block), Murray (7 points, 2 assists, a steal).

Cleveland stand at 23-24 with today's victory. They remain at #2 in the Central and stay at #5 overall in the Eastern Conference. Toronto fall to 27-20 and 15-8 at home. They remain at #2 in the Atlantic and remain at #4 overall in the Eastern Conference.
