Compared to what hes gone through in recent weeks, that seemed like a breeze.
Speaking to The Associated Press on Friday at an NBA Cares event, Silver said
hes thrilled that the leagues attention can be on the championship series
between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs -- and not, as it was for so much
of the post-season, on the off-the-court matters involving the banishment of Los
Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and now the looming sale of that
franchise. CLEVELAND -- No one will fault the Charlotte Bobcats for taking a
moment to savour their second post-season appearance in franchise history.
Theyve come a long way in a short period of time. Al Jefferson scored 24 points,
including seven in overtime, and the Bobcats clinched a playoff spot with a
96-94 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night. Charlotte is in
the post-season for the second time in its 10-year history and the first time
since 2010. The Bobcats (39-38) are over .500 for the second time this season
and hold seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Steve Clifford, the Bobcats
third coach in three seasons, praised his teams character. "This is a
significant accomplishment for our group of guys, and it puts us in a different
place in the league," he said. "The guys in the locker room are excited -- and
they should be -- because weve got a good group of guys and a group of guys who
are truly deserving." While the Bobcats were celebrating, the Cavaliers slim
playoff hopes suffered yet another damaging loss despite a career-high 44 points
from Kyrie Irving. Cleveland (31-47) trails eighth-place Atlanta by 3 1/2 games
for the final playoff spot in the East. The Bobcats have made significant
progress since finishing 7-59 in the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season. Charlotte
was 21-61 last season. "Words cant describe it," guard Kemba Walker said. "For
me, Gerald (Henderson), and Biz (Bismack Biyombo), we were the original guys
here. We were on the worst team my first two years, so to go from there to here,
its like night and day." Hendersons basket gave Charlotte a 90-89 lead with 1:08
remaining and the Bobcats made four free throws down the stretch to seal the
win. Walker scored 20 points and Henderson added 15 for the Bobcats, who have
won four straight and swept the four-game season series with Cleveland. "This
means a lot, individually and as a team," Henderson said. "I thought we would be
good, but I think weve exceeded everybodys expectations -- even our own."
Irving, wwho defended himself before the game over reports hes unhappy in
Cleveland, was 16 of 31 from the field, including five 3-pointers.

He added eight assists and seven rebounds. The Cavaliers could be eliminated
from contention before they play again Wednesday. Irving admitted hell be paying
attention to what Atlanta and New York -- the teams ahead of Cleveland -- are
doing. "In this game, anything can happen," he said. "I know the Knicks and
Hawks play some pretty tough teams coming up. Ill definitely be watching. Well
see." Walkers 3-pointer with 32 seconds remaining in regulation gave Charlotte
an 82-80 lead, but Irvings jumper 7 seconds later tied the game. Irvings basket
gave Cleveland an 89-86 lead with 1:55 remaining in overtime, but Jefferson hit
a free throw and Hendersons basket put the Bobcats ahead. Following a Cleveland
turnover, Walker missed a jumper, but Cody Zeller got the rebound and passed it
out to Walker, who was fouled and made both shots with 17 seconds remaining to
make it 92-89. After Dion Waiters sank two free throws, Walker split a pair of
foul shots with 11 seconds to go. Following a time out, Irving took the inbounds
pass at the top of the key, but his wide-open 3-pointer rimmed out. "Thats as
good a look that I had all night," he said. "It was in and out. It was a crucial
miss, (but) I can live with that." Hendersons two free throws with 7 seconds
left gave the Bobcats a 95-91 lead. Spencer Hawes made a 3-pointer with 4
seconds to get the Cavaliers within one before Jefferson hit a free throw with
2.3 seconds left. He missed the second, but the Cavaliers had no timeouts
remaining and Hawes desperation full-court heave was short. NOTES: Charlotte has
defeated Cleveland five straight times. ... Bobcats assistant coach Mark Price,
who starred for the Cavaliers from 1986-95, got a big ovation when he was shown
on the scoreboard in the second quarter. ... The Bobcats are 3-14 all-time at
Quicken Loans Arena, the worst record by a visiting team at the 20-year-old
arena.
