CLEVELAND -- Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and the Charlotte Bobcats kept playing, even when they trailed by double digits in the third quarter. Swingman Zach LaVine Jersey . They eventually found a way to get past the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kidd-Gilchrist scored 16 points and the Bobcats used a strong fourth quarter to defeat the Cavaliers 86-80 on Friday night. "Its a new season, new guys, a new staff, new everything," Kidd-Gilchrist said. "Ill take this win. Ill take any win we can get this season. One step at a time." While its only November, the Bobcats are feeling good about themselves. Charlotte is 5-4 after finishing 21-61 last season. "A lot of it just comes down to how badly the guys in the locker room want to win," first-year coach Steve Clifford said. "Its a great win, a win on the road against a physical team that plays good defence." Kyrie Irving, wearing a mask to protect a nasal fracture, had 18 points and 10 assists for Cleveland, which lost for the first time in four games at home. The Cavaliers (3-7) have lost three straight and five of six. Clevelands wins have come by four, one and two points. "We just didnt play with any sense of urgency at all defensively," coach Mike Brown said. "We didnt do anything we were supposed to do." The Cavaliers are 0-6 on the road and play in Washington on Saturday. The Bobcats outscored the Cavaliers 29-22 in the final period to win for only the second time in 16 games at Quicken Loans Arena. The Bobcats trailed 53-41 midway through the third quarter, but cut the lead to 58-57 going into the fourth quarter. Anthony Tollivers 3-pointer put Charlotte ahead 60-58 for its first lead of the game and the Bobcats never trailed again. Kidd-Gilchrist had eight points in the fourth, including a three-point play that gave Charlotte an 81-70 lead with 6:08 remaining. Ramon Sessions and Kemba Walker hit 3-pointers and Cody Zeller added a three-point play to spark the Bobcats run. Cleveland trailed 82-76 before Josh McRoberts 3-pointer from the corner with 1:02 remaining sealed the win. McRoberts scored 13 points while Sessions and Walker added 12 apiece. Jeff Taylor scored 11 points for Charlotte, which won 89-83 in Boston on Wednesday. Charlotte cut a 10-point deficit to four at halftime, but the Cavaliers began the third quarter on a 16-8 spurt. Irving was hit in the face by an elbow from Minnesotas Corey Brewer on Wednesday. The All-Star point guard has a bruise under his right eye and will wear the mask for an undetermined period of time. "The mask was awful, but Ive got to play through it," said Irving, who was 5 of 16 from the field. "Hopefully, it will help me shoot better." Tristan Thompson and Earl Clark each scored 15 points for the Cavaliers. Bobcats centre Al Jefferson missed the game because of the sore right ankle thats bothered him since training camp. He played in Charlottes last two games after missing its previous five. Hes averaging team highs of 15 points and 8.7 rebounds. Jefferson also missed the Bobcats 90-84 win over the Cavaliers in Charlotte on Nov. 1. Cleveland played its second straight game without centre Andrew Bynum, who was excused by the team to address a family medical matter. Bynum is expected to return for Saturdays game. Cavaliers forward Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, scored two points and is 4 for 35 from the field this season.

"Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. TORONTO -- When the Toronto Marlies and Grand Rapids Griffins open the AHL season next week, the rosters should look similar to the ones the Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings put on the ice Saturday night at Air Canada Centre. This was an NHL pre-season game, the finale for both teams, but it wasnt much of a dress rehearsal for the regular season. Two dozen players expected to start in the minor leagues helped decide the Leafs 3-1 win. One of those players was Toronto defenceman John-Michael Liles, who scored on the power play in the second period and picked up a primary assist in the third. Waivers could await the 32-year-old, whos likely on the outside of the Leafs picture on the blue line. "Weve got a lot of depth on the blue line, a lot of really good players -- good, young players, as well," Liles said. "Its never easy. There hasnt been a camp in my NHL career where its your position set in stone. It just makes it even tougher when youve got kids pushing you. Youve got some great, young blue-liners in this organization, and they should be proud of the camp they had." Liles has a $3.875-million salary-cap hit, and his contract has two years left on it after this one. The Leafs have Dion Phaneuf, Carl Gunnarsson, Jake Gardiner, Mark Fraser, Paul Ranger and the recently signed Cody Franson ahead of him, and thats not even counting prospect Morgan Rielly. Riellys status remains in question, and the Leafs must decide whether to keep the 19-year-old around for at least a nine-game cameo or send him back to Moose Jaw of the WHL. He was satisfied at how he acquitted himself during the pre-season, but coach Randy Carlyle wasnt revealing much when asked about Riellys chances of playing in the NHL right now. "I think Morgan Riellys very close," Carlyle said. "To say that, unequivocally, hes ready to play in the NHL is a tough question to ask and a tougher question to answer at this point. We know hes played very well for our hockey club, hes a talented young man and hes only going to get better. Those are the tough decisions that youre faced with." Carlyle also mentioned the idea of tough decisions when asked Saturday to review Liles play in his previous two pre-season games. Liles was largely a nonfactor with a plus-2 rating in those games. Toronto is over the cap ceiling and the roster the team submits Monday at 5 p.m. is expected to have fewer than 23 players. Right-winger David Clarksons 10-game suspension complicates the situation in general, but its likely nott something that factors in with Liles. Shabazz Muhammad Jersey. . Instead, he very well could be on the bad end of a numbers game. If nothing else, Liles may have used an afterthought of a pre-season game to show another team why he deserves a chance to stick around in the NHL. "I think every time you step on the ice youre trying to build toward something," Liles said. "For me, this is my third pre-season game, youre trying to build toward the regular season. I dont necessarily think it was a conscious thing to say, I need to go out there and assert myself. I think youre trying to build and prepare for the regular season, and thats all you can do as a player. Im no different than any other guy." Liles performance probably wont make enough of a difference within the Leafs organization, but in the long term forward Josh Leivo made a nice impression. The 2011 third-round pick who is about to embark on his first professional season scored twice Saturday and was the first star of the game on national television. "I slid under the radar my whole life, so I think today was a pretty big game for me, and hopefully I can keep it going," Leivo said. Leivos first goal, a deflection that was "a little bit of luck and a little bit of skill," was made possible by Fransons shot from the point. Unlike Liles, Franson knows he will be around Tuesday when the season opens at Montreal. But that was a late-camp development after the 26-year-old signed a one-year, $2-million deal Thursday. Goaltender James Reimers spot in the opening-night lineup isnt so secure even after a strong pre-season that wrapped up with 24 saves on 25 shots against a Red Wings team that dressed one over the minimum amount of veterans required for pre-season games. Competing with Jonathan Bernier for playing time, Reimer finished the exhibition season with a .923 save percentage. "I tried to prove myself every day in practice and preparing myself and taking care of myself off the ice," Reimer said. "I feel like Ive done the best that I can, and now its up to Randy." Carlyle already said Reimer and Bernier would split the regular seasons first two games. Who starts the season opener "probablys going to be the toughest decision," the Leafs coach said. "Those are good decisions," he said. "Its tough on coaches and tough on management to pick one guy when both have played well. But the underlying fact is its a great decision because we have 1A and 1B quality goaltenders. Both guys can start."
