(SportsNetwork.com) - The Cleveland Cavaliers target their fifth straight win when they resume a four-game homestand Friday versus the Charlotte Hornets. The Cavaliers made it four straight wins with Wednesdays 106-92 victory over the Utah Jazz and were led by LeBron James, who registered 26 points, nine assists and seven rebounds. James, though, had seven turnovers. Kevin Love contributed 19 points and 13 rebounds, Timofey Mozgov added 16 points and 11 boards, and Kyrie Irving netted 18 points for the Cavs, whose winning streak comes on the heels of losing six in a row and nine of 10 games. Its clicking, James said. We have a good groove right now. James has scored 26 points or more in five straight games, posting an average of 30.6 ppg in that span. Cleveland has scored 100 or more points in five straight games and will host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday at the Q. It is 13-9 at home this season. The Cavs could see Iman Shumpert Friday night for the first time since acquiring him in a three-team deal with the New York Knicks and Thunder. Shumpert has been sidelined with a shoulder injury and last played Dec. 12 at Boston. He averaged 9.3 ppg with the Knicks this season. Charlotte has been playing well of late with three straight wins and eight in the past nine tries. The Hornets went 3-1 on a recent homestand and recorded a 78-76 victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday, as Kemba Walker scored 15 points on just 4-of-17 shooting. Bismack Biyombo recorded 12 points and 12 boards, Al Jefferson came off the bench to post 12 points and four rebounds, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist ended with eight points to go along with 14 rebounds. With the Heat trailing by two in the closing seconds, Chris Bosh missed on a 3-pointer from the top of the key. Mario Chalmers tracked down the rebound, and his final shot from the corner missed short. Basketball is a game of runs, said Walker. It was up to us to stay mentally tough, get stops, and make plays on our end. Walker missed the previous two games because of a knee injury. Charlotte had a 56-41 advantage on the glass and shot 33.8 percent. It will host the New York Knicks Saturday night. The Hornets are winless (0-2) against the Cavaliers this season and had won the previous five games in this series. Derek Fisher Lakers Jersey .

Lions in the CFL East Division semifinal, defensive back Jerald Brown made some Montreal Alouettes team history. Just after the Lions had something positive happen, a Tim Brown kickoff return to the Montreal 12-yard line, Brown scooped up a fumble and ran a team-record 103 yards for a touchdown to put the Alouettes at the half-century mark in what would be a 50-17 victory. That, and the stellar play of a Montreal defence that held B.C. to 102 passing yards, earned Brown CFL defensive player of the week honours on Tuesday. Hell try to keep up the strong defensive play when the Alouettes face the Tiger-Cats in Hamilton in the East final on Sunday. Thats cool, but its about our team, said Brown. I accept it and I appreciate it, but its just another week for me. Weve got to go out and win. Thats all were focused on. Its not about individuality. Weve got to get it done as a team. The Alouettes are looking to stay on the roll that saw them rebound from a 1-7 start to the season to finish 9-9, good for second place in the East. Then they beat the 9-9 Lions to get a shot at still another 9-9 club in Hamilton. The Alouettes and Ticats met in the regular season finale for both clubs on Nov. 8, with Hamilton getting the 29-15 win and first place based on points differential between the teams this season. Now they are set to meet again, with rainy but relatively warm 8 C weather in the forecast. The Alouettes have not won an away game against Hamilton in four years. In their last meeting, played in wind, snow and cold, the Ticats dominated while ending the fumble-prone Alouettess six-game winning streak. It left the Ticats unbeaten in six games at the new Tim Hortons Field. This is a new ballgame, said Brown. You win and you move on and you lose you go home. Anything prior to this game is irrelevant. The Alouettes will be boosted by their best offensive display of the season against B.C. They scored six offensive touchdowns, including a pair of TD passes by Jonathan Crompton, the awkward but effective pivot who took over as a starter just when the team turned its season around.dddddddddddd. Brown said it was a matter of time before the Alouettes put together a top effort from the offence, defence and special teams at once. Ive been saying all year that once we get going on all phases, its going to be a problem (for opponents), said Brown. Its nothing were overly excited about because we have another game to play this week. We knew what we were capable of and we went out and did it. If you look at our roster, we have all the pieces in place. Coach Tom Higgins said having played a game in Hamiltons windy new park will help on their visit. We learned a lot about how to handle the wind and I think were looking forward to getting back there, he said. My biggest challenge is make sure the guys arent too excited. A lot of lessons were learned and its still fresh in their minds why we didnt win that game. A question about the importance of the coin toss had Higgins smiling. Winning it could be key because it would determine who plays with the wind at their backs in the fourth quarter. As the visitor, we get to call heads or tails, he said. We will call tails. Thats what weve called all year. We made that determination before the start of the season and weve won more often than not. I know were above 50 (per cent) mark with tails. Higgins will have a decision to make at running back. It appears that Tyrell Sutton, who missed the semifinal with an ankle injury, will be back when practices resume on Wednesday. Brandon Rutley ran for 95 yards on 15 carries in his absence. We came through the game relatively healthy, said Higgins. I think everyone who played in the game will be able to practice. Defensive end John Bowman left the game with a rib problem, but Higgins said hell still be sore, but I dont imagine hell miss one snap of practice.
