Cavaliers barely avoid epic choke, finally snap losing streak

Isaiah Thomas made two free throws with 11 seconds left and the Cavaliers came up with a defensive stop in the frantic final seconds after blowing a 23-point lead to beat the Orlando Magic 104-103 on Thursday night.

After Thomas made his shots, Orlando’s Elfrid Payton missed a contested layup with three seconds left. The officials ruled there was an inadvertent whistle and held a jump ball at midcourt.

Magic forward Aaron Gordon grabbed the toss and sank an apparent game-winning 45-footer as the horn sounded and Cleveland’s crowds shrieked in disbelief. But Gordon committed a jump-ball violation with the move and Cleveland then only had to inbound the ball to come away with a win that shouldn’t have been so difficult.

LeBron James closed in on 30,000 career points, Thomas scored 21 and the Cavs snapped a four-game losing skid — but not out of a January funk.

James scored 16 and now needs 25 to become the seventh player in NBA history to reach 30,000. He’ll likely reach the plateau on Saturday when Cleveland hosts Oklahoma City.

The Cavs were rolling to a rare, easy win before they went cold from the outside and were outscored 33-17 in the third quarter by the Magic, who have dropped 17 of 19.

Cleveland went 1 for 17 on 3-pointers in the second half.

Payton scored 19 and Gordon 17 for Orlando, which didn’t get any breaks down the stretch.

With guard Derrick Rose back after missing more than two months with ankle injuries, the Cavs were closer to full strength and for a while they put together a solid performance after dropping nine of 12, a slide that raised questions about their legitimacy to contend for another title.

But some of the same problems that have plagued the Cavs — defensive lapses, stagnant offense — resurfaced in the second half.

Rose deepens Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue’s rotation to 10, for now, and he pulled all five reserves in the second quarter for his starters.

Lue remains confident the Cavs will work through their struggles, and the Magic were the perfect opponent to fix some issues.

Orlando coach Frank Vogel was worried the Cavs would play better.

“As the season goes on they’ll figure it out and they’ll get their stuff together and be as good as they’ve always been,” he said.

Cleveland made nine 3-pointers — more than they had in its previous three games — while building a 23-point lead in the first half.
