Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James (23) drives past Dallas Mavericks’ Dorian Finney-Smith during the first half of an NBA basketball game in Cleveland, Sunday, April 1, 2018. (AP Photo/Phil Long)CLEVELAND — LeBron James couldn’t get his shot to drop. However, he wouldn’t let the Cavaliers fall.James struggled before extending his record double-digit scoring streak to 868 games and Cleveland had a rough time with Dallas before putting away the lottery-bound Mavericks 98-87 on Sunday night.ADVERTISEMENT James, who broke Michael Jordan’s NBA mark for consecutive games with at least 10 points on Friday night, didn’t reach 10 until 7:59 remained. He finished just 5 of 21 from the field but found his range when it counted most, draining a pair of 3-pointers during a 15-2 run in the fourth quarter when the Cavs finally finished off the Mavericks.“It wasn’t a typical LeBron game,” said interim head coach Larry Drew, who is filling in for Tyronn Lue. “But we were still able to come out with a win. When the game was on the line, he put it on his shoulders once again.”FEATURED STORIESSPORTSGinebra beats Meralco again to capture PBA Governors’ Cup titleSPORTSAfter winning title, time for LA Tenorio to give back to Batangas folkSPORTSTim Cone, Ginebra set their sights on elusive All-Filipino crownAnd although his shot was off, James finished with 16 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, his 17th triple-double this season and No. 72 of his career.“I missed four, five, maybe six layups, which I’m not accustomed to doing,” James said. “But me not shooting the ball well never stopped me making an impact on the game. So if I’m not shooting well, I gotta make sure I get my guys on time, on target with my passes and I gotta rebound and I gotta do other things to help us win and I was able to do that.” Aldridge, Gay help Spurs beat league-best Rockets In Liverpool, Man United sees the pain and path to recovery Nadine Lustre’s phone stolen in Brazil Cabuyao City rising above the ashes through volunteerism Lights inside SMX hall flicker as Duterte rants vs Ayala, Pangilinan anew Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard PLAY LIST 02:14Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard02:56NCRPO pledges to donate P3.5 million to victims of Taal eruption00:56Heavy rain brings some relief in Australia02:37Calm moments allow Taal folks some respite03:23Negosyo sa Tagaytay City, bagsak sa pag-aalboroto ng Bulkang Taal01:13Christian Standhardinger wins PBA Best Player award Recto seeks to establish Taal rehab body to aid community, eruption victims Cleveland, which has withstood numerous injuries all season, has won eight of nine and is 17-8 since Feb. 7.

Dirk Nowitzki scored nine in possibly the 39-year-old’s final career game in Cleveland.The Cavs were in danger of sliding into fifth place behind Philadelphia and Indiana before waking up in the fourth quarter. They trailed 81-79 before going on an 11-0 run that was capped by a 3 from James, who spent part of Saturday night on stage with pop superstar Justin Timberlake.“We tried to make it tough on him, but obviously he’s one of the best players in the game, if not the best player in the game,” Nowitzki said. “You look up and he’s got a triple-double. He’s affecting the game even though he wasn’t shooting the ball really well. He can drive. He can dish it.”TIP-INSMavericks: Nowitzki was questionable with an ankle issue but started his 76th game this season, a credit to his durability and dedication. “He’s another guy that’s just so extremely meticulous with his approach,” coach Rick Carlisle said. “He changed his diet about 12 years ago or 13 years ago and went to very specific kinds of foods.

• Photo Gallery: Circus accident SOUTH EL MONTE – California Division of Occupational Safety and Health officials have opened an investigation into the death of a circus trapeze artist who fell during a performance Monday evening, authorities said Tuesday. Roberto Valenzuela, 35, of Brownsville, Texas, fell headfirst and died Monday night, said Sgt. Jacqueline Gonzalez of the Los Angeles County Police Department. He was performing with Circo Hermanos Vazquez (Vazquez Brothers Circus) at a show at the Whittier Narrows Recreation Center near South El Monte. Cal-OSHA spokesman Dean Fryer said Tuesday that investigators from his agency went to the scene immediately after the incident. Officials were investigating whether a 15-foot safety cable attached to the performer to prevent serious injury or death in a fall might have malfunctioned, he said. It was not immediately known whether the circus, which had its last performance at Whittier Narrows on Monday, would continue to its next stop, in Panorama City in the San Fernando Valley.

Manchester United travel to West Brom on Sunday having experienced a resurgence in recent weeks with wins over Shrewsbury, Midtjylland, Arsenal and Watford.Louis van Gaal is reaping the rewards of playing youth with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Guillermo Varela and Timothy Fosu-Mensah all making an impression.Juan Mata’s late free kick against Watford moved the Red Devils onto level points with fourth-placed Manchester City, although the ‘noisy neighbours’ have a game in hand.The injury problems are also beginning to ease with Marcos Rojo returning and Chris Smalling and Matteo Darmian in contention for the weekend.However, with the club being down to the bare bones, it is likely some of the younger players, like Rashford who looked exhausted at the end of the Watford game, despite continuing to play well.A number of players were rested for the midweek game at Old Trafford meaning some players had played three games in six days.Click the arrow above, right, to see the predicted Manchester United lineup for Sunday’s trip to the Hawthorns. 1.

JAMPRIP, Indonesia – Rescuers said today that hopes were waning of finding more survivors from a devastating earthquake that killed more than 5,400 people in central Indonesia. The bleak assessment from the head of Malyasia’s rescue team came as homeless survivors living in rice fields and makeshift shacks begged for food and water. Soldiers on Monday began delivering bags of rice to village chiefs in the mountainous quake zone on the island of Java, but survivors called the aid meager and slow. The United Nations planned a global appeal, saying relief money was running low. “We have 300 families in this village and have only gotten two sacks of rice,” said Lastri, 27, holding a 5-month-old. “It’s not enough.” AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MORE11 theater productions to see in Southern California this week, Dec. 27-Jan. 2Indonesia’s Social Affairs Ministry today raised the death toll to 5,427. The head of an emergency response team from Malaysia said it didn’t expect to find any more survivors or bodies under the rubble. “The collapsed homes were all so small that anyone who was trapped would have been extracted by their family members,” said Superintendent Abdul Aziz Ahmad. He said his team had only found one body on Monday. Thousands of people including children and the elderly lined main roads in the area of Saturday’s magnitude-6.3 quake, holding out whatever containers they could find to hold donations to buy rice, oil and candles. “Please give me something, I’m hungry,” 7-year-old Sari told passing drivers, standing beside a group of children carrying banners that read “We have not gotten any aid” and “Help us.” A plane chartered by the U.N. children’s agency touched down near the disaster area, and the United States, which pledged $2.5 million, said 100 military doctors and nurses were en route with surgical, dental and other equipment. But rough roads in mountainous central Java and new cracks in the runway at the region’s main airport hampered delivery efforts. In Jamprip, a village of 300 families, Edi Sutrisno, 37, helped unload aid from a military truck – two bags of rice, nine boxes of dried noodles and two boxes of bottled water. “It’s the first we’ve gotten since the quake,” he said. “Of course it’s not enough for all of us, not even for a day.” A group of teenagers raced up to a slowing truck and managed to steal supplies off the back, but their excitement was short-lived. “I thought it was food, but it was just soap and toothbrushes,” said Andi Marwanto, 16. The government said an estimated 200,000 people were homeless, most living in improvised shacks close to their former homes or in shelters erected in rice fields. Hospitals overflowed with bloodied survivors. Power was still out in much of the quake region, which covers hundreds of square miles. Compounding the devastation were fears of an eruption of nearby Mount Merapi, which has been belching gas and lava for weeks, and a scientist said its volcanic activity had increased threefold since the quake. Lava and hot clouds of gas were avalanching 2 miles down the volcano’s slopes Monday, said volcanologist Subandriyo, who like many Indonesians uses only one name. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono visited refugees Monday and acknowledged a “lack of coordination” in aid distribution. He urged government officials to be “more agile.” “I saw in many areas that there are many things that need to be speeded up,” said Yudhoyono, who moved his office to the ancient city of Yogyakarta to supervise relief operations. A UNICEF plane loaded with water, tents, stoves and cooking sets arrived Monday in Solo, a city about three hours’ drive from the hardest-hit district of Bantul. On Sunday, three U.N. trucks brought high-energy biscuits to survivors and two Singapore military cargo planes arrived with doctors and medical supplies. Some 22 countries have contributed or pledged assistance, the U.N.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s inclusion on Manchester United’s list of released players seemed to suggest his career at Old Trafford was over – but that might not be the case.While the Swede will become a free agent on July 1, he is going to continue his recovery from a cruciate knee ligament injury at the club’s Carrington training ground.And the Manchester Evening News report that, should his recovery be a success, he could be offered a short-term deal until the end of the 2017/18 season.It’s likely that January 2018 will be the earliest possible date for his return to action.The 35-year-old finished last term as United’s top scorer with 28 goals in all competitions, and may have been challenging for the Premier League’s Golden Boot before injury cruelly ended his campaign in April.
