Cleveland, OH - The Cleveland Cavaliers rallied from an eight point halftime dearth to vanquish the defending NBA Champion Dallas Mavericks Saturday night. "It was a vexing loss," Maverick Coach Rick Carlisle said. "I was flabbergasted by the consequence of our maneuvers. Hopefully our subsequent adversary won't stymie the game schematic like the Cavaliers did." "We were smothered by the Cavs back-to-the-basket resistance in the third and rearmost quarters," Maverick forward Dirk Nowitzki said. "Coach Carlisle didn't need to bloviate in his hind-contest speech. We know unerringly where our blemishes loll." "The deluge of baskets perpetrated by the antagonists was too great to encumber," said Maverick guard Jason Terry. "I'd like to offer amends to our devotees, who have been unwavering in their support." Coach Carlisle insists this Forest City pasting will not have an elongated tenure on his force. "Our perseverance will not wane and I refuse to let the stench of failure reverberate throughout the Mavericks practice facility," he said. Jason Terry echoed his conductor's utterance. "When we sojourn in Denver on Wednesday night to tussle with the Nuggets, we will not let our defeat to the Cavs humidify our spirits. We will capture the floor. We will show the masses we're proud Nimrods." Tipoff Wednesday is schedule for 8:00 PM Central Time.
