CLEVELAND -- Anthony Davis isnt worried about making the All-Star team. Custom Houston Texans Jerseys . He may have nothing to fear. Davis padded his resume by scoring 30 points with eight blocks and seven rebounds and Eric Gordon scored 20, leading the New Orleans Pelicans to a 100-89 win over the puzzling Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night. Davis, one of three No. 1 overall picks on the floor, was dominant from baseline to baseline as the Pelicans won their third straight. With New Orleans hosting next months All-Star weekend, the Pelicans are hoping their second-year star will be added to the Western Conferences squad when reserves are named Thursday night. "Everybody keeps talking about All-Star, and should he be an All-Star," New Orleans coach Monty Williams said. "All you have to do is look at tonight. Show me other bigs who are doing it on both ends like he does every single night." Davis dislocated his left index finger in the final minutes, but got taped up during a timeout and stayed in. New Orleans scored 16 straight points to close the first half and opened a 22-point lead in the third, causing some fans to boo the listless Cavaliers, who followed a 3-2 trip out West by going 1-4 on their homestand. Clevelands lone win was against Milwaukee, which has the NBAs worst record. "Our competitive spirit is non-existent," said Cavs coach Mike Brown. "Maybe I need to shake some things up." Kyrie Irving scored 23 and Dion Waiters 21 for Cleveland. Rookie Anthony Bennett, the first pick in last years draft, scored a season-high 15 and was the lone bright spot for the Cavs. A major disappointment so far, the 6-foot-8 Canadian added eight rebounds and played 31 minutes -- his most action this season. Davis scored 11 points in the third quarter, when he showed off his well-rounded game. He swished a long jumper, dropped a runner, nailed a bank shot and, of course, dunked. Missing Anderson Varejao, who was out with a hyperextended and bruised left knee, the Cavs had no defensive answer for Davis, who was coming off a 22-point, 19-rebound, seven-block performance in a win over Orlando. As the Pelicans were putting the finishing touches on the win, Davis injured his finger and came to the bench in obvious pain. He bent over as a trainer worked on his fingers and several of Davis teammates patted him on the back as he was treated. "He said, tape it up. Im going right back," Williams said. "That to me says more about him than any number or stat that he can put up. His heart and his willingness to do whatever it takes for his team is why hes an All-Star in my opinion." Davis returned to the floor, but didnt have to do much in the final three minutes as the Pelicans had already wrapped up their 10th road victory. Davis said the All-Star talk is not distracting. "Its cool," Davis said. "I hear it, but Im trying to win games. Im trying to get better each and every day. If it happens, Ill be more than grateful and more than excited to be able to play." The Pelicans outscored the Cavs 16-0 over the final 5:25 of the second quarter to open a 56-44 halftime lead. Gordon had six points during the spurt, which included a possession where all five New Orleans touched the ball before Davis dunked. Cleveland, which scored just six points in the third quarter of a loss to Phoenix on Sunday, missed its last nine shots of the period. The Cavs committed three turnovers in the last four minutes and shot only 5 of 20 from the field. Irving said the Cavs have not tuned out Brown, whose second second stint with Cleveland has not gone well to this point. "As a team, we go through stretches where its ups and downs, thats just part of the game," Irving said. "I leave my trust with coach Brown, Im riding with him. Whatever he says and whatever he needs me to do, Im going to go out there and do. Im pretty sure all of my teammates feel the same way and thats where that rests. Anything he needs us to do, Im willing to do and I know my teammates do as well." Notes: Clevelands Luol Deng scored just six points. Hes been slowed by a sore Achilles. ... The No. 34 banner representing former Cavs guard Austin Carrs retired number was mysteriously missing from its usual place hanging from the arenas rafters. The Cavs are investigating the disappearance. Carr, the No. 1 overall pick in the 1970 draft who played nine seasons for Cleveland, joked, "Maybe Im coming out of retirement." ...

Allen scored 18 points as the Heat defeated the Memphis Grizzles 91-86 on Friday night and avoided losing at home for the third time in their last four games. Allen is averaging 18 points per game in Miamis past five games. "Its really just team oriented," Allen said. "When we play well, we move the ball around. Theres no telling whos going to be the recipient. Whether its offensively or defensively, somebodys got to make plays out there. "On any given night, based on who we play, it could be anybody." Miami rallied from an 84-77 deficit with 4:08 remaining and scored 11 unanswered points. Allens 3-pointer with 3:27 remaining began the comeback and Dwyane Wades jumper with 1:32 left tied it at 84. Wades two free throws with 1:04 left gave the Heat their first lead since early in the third quarter. "We had to make plays on both ends in the fourth quarter and manage the game with intensity and the right plays," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. After Mike Miller missed a 3-point attempt with 51 seconds remaining for the Grizzlies, LeBron James jumper with 24 seconds left capped the Heats late run for an 88-84 advantage. James finished with 15 points, and Wade and Mario Chalmers scored 14 points each for the Heat. James also had seven assists and six rebounds. "It was one of those grind-out, playoff-type games," said James, who sat out Miamis game at Boston on Wednesday because of back spasms. "No matter what happens, you just have to try to make plays to help you win. Myself, and D-Wade and the rest of the guys made plays down the stretch." Zach Randolph scored 25 points and had 14 rebounds for the Grizzlies. Marc Gasol finished with 14 points, but left because of a sprained ankle midway through the third quarter and didnt return. "We turned the basketball over way too much," Memphis coach David Joerger said of his teams six fourth-quarter turnovers.. Custom Ottawa Senators Jerseys. "Theyve got good players that made big plays." Chalmers scored eight points during a 16-4 run that closed the third quarter and helped Miami erase a 12-point gap. Chris Andersens tip-in at the buzzer ended the surge and tied it at 68. "We got kind of stagnant toward the end," Randolph said. "Overall, we played good. We just couldnt make shots toward the end." The Grizzlies opened the second half on an 11-2 spurt behind two baskets each from Gasol and Randolph. But Gasol injured his left ankle after colliding with Chris Boshs left foot. Gasol left for the dressing room with 6:20 remaining and didnt return. "He got hurt and then the game kind of changed," Randolph said. Mike Conleys three-point play with 5:13 left in the third period gave the Grizzlies their first double-digit lead at 62-52. "The Memphis Grizzlies are a very good team thats playing well and we just had to find a way in any way possible, and it all happened on the defensive end of the floor for us," Wade said. Miami rallied from two nine-point deficits early in the second quarter and finished the period on a 14-7 spurt. James jumper with 37 seconds remaining gave the Heat a 45-43 lead at halftime. Millers first basket against his former teammates was a 3-pointer that increased the Grizzlies lead to 29-29 with 9:46 remaining in the second quarter. Miller received a huge ovation from fans and hugs from his former teammates when he was presented with the Heats championship ring before the game. He was not available after the game.
