CLEVELAND - LeBron James and Kyrie Irving stepped aside and let one of their teammates polish off an opponent.On Sunday, Dion Waiters finished Memphis.Waiters scored 13 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter as the Cleveland Cavaliers handled one of the Western Conferences best teams, beating the short-handed Grizzlies 105-91.The Cavs have been waiting for the enigmatic and inconsistent Waiters to become more reliable. Its still a work in progress but Waiters, who has frequently been mentioned in trade rumours over the past two seasons, is showing signs of developing into a steady scorer off the bench.Hes learning every day, said James, who had 25 points and 11 assists. Hes a young guy. He hasnt experienced much in this league, so for him to have a game like he had, we needed it.James scored 16 in the second half and the Cavs shot a season-best 61 per cent from the field to improve to just 3-6 against West teams. Anderson Varejao scored 18 and Irving had 17 points and 12 assists for the Cavs, who are 11-3 since their sluggish 5-7 start.Marc Gasol scored 23 and added 11 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who played without forward Zach Randolph. Hes nursing a sore and swollen right knee he injured in Fridays loss at Chicago.Jon Leuer added 16 points for Memphis, which dropped to 21-6.Gasol refused to use Randolphs absence as an excuse.We play who we have, he said. Whoevers not here is not here. Trust me, we have enough talent in this locker room not just to win tonight but to win the same amount of games weve won so far.Despite not having Randolph, their leading rebounder, Grizzlies were still within 79-74 when the Cavs went on an 8-0 run to take control. Irving triggered the spurt with a basket before Waiters, who was benched in the second half of a win over Brooklyn on Friday, fed James for an alley-oop dunk. Waiters then drained a 3-pointer to cap an 11-3 run, and the backup guard scored eight consecutive points to push Clevelands lead to 100-83.Waiters scored 11 points in a span of 2:10, assuming the closer role usually played by James and Irving.When its not one of those guys nights, somebodys got to step up and my approach every game is to be locked in as far as being consistent and being aggressive at all times, thats just who I am, Waiters said. I just try to let the game come to me now. I just take what they give me.Cavs coach David Blatt said his team would need to bring it to match the Grizzlies physicality. Cleveland brought it, building a 20-6 lead in the first quarter, helped by Gasol going to the bench after picking up his second personal. The Grizzlies, though, battled back and were only down 11 at halftime.TIP-INSGrizzlies: An MRI taken Saturday on Randolph did not show any structural damage but the Grizzlies are going to be extra cautious with him as hes likely to sit out Monday against Utah. Hes a warrior and I just thought taking a night off isnt the worst thing in the world, said coach David Joerger. A game or two can help you over the long haul. ... G Tony Allen missed his third straight game with a scratched cornea. ... Leuers start was first since he was a rookie in 2011-12 for Milwaukee.Cavaliers: Cleveland has won eight of nine at home. .. The Cavs are 9-2 when James has at least nine assists. ... Irving shot 8 for 13. He came in shooting just 37 per cent (30 of 81) in his previous five games, but Cavs coach David Blatt isnt worried about his point guards slump lingering. Guys go through periods like that, Blatt said. ... During a timeout, F Mike Millers various hairstyles — long, high and tight and a mullet — were shown on the giant scoreboard, prompting James to turn to his teammate and say, Thats (messed) up, man.PROTEST: During the game several dozen demonstrators gathered outside Quicken Loans Arena to protest the recent death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was shot and killed by a Cleveland police officer while carrying a toy gun.

Hernandez, who is awaiting trial on murder charges in a 2013 shooting near his home, was seen on surveillance footage in the same nightclub as the victims on the night of the attack in Bostons South End, authorities have said. But newly released documents in Connecticut confirm for the first time that police suspect Hernandez could have carried out the shooting. No charges have been filed in the deaths of Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and Safiro Teixeira Furtado, who were killed on July 16, 2012, when somebody inside an SUV opened fire on their car. A third person was shot but survived. A June 28 police affidavit and searched warrant appplication released by Superior Court in Bristol, Conn.dddddddddddd says there is probable cause to believe that Hernandez was driving the vehicle used in the shooting and "may have been the shooter." The affidavit was filed as police sought to search an SUV they say was involved in the shooting and was found at Hernandezs uncles home in Bristol, where Hernandez was raised. The SUV had been given to Hernandez by a Rhode Island company in exchange for participating in promotional activities, according to court filings. Authorities found the SUV while investigating the slaying of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player whose body was found June 17 near Hernandezs North Attleborough, Mass., home. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in that case. A lawyer for Hernandez did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
