CHARLOTTE, N. Authentic Tyus Jones Jersey .C. -- When Michael Jordan speaks, people still listen. The Charlotte Bobcats owner praised his team during a pregame locker room speech Friday night, but warned his players its only going to get tougher from here on out. Jordan spoke directly about the Bobcats potentially making the playoffs -- something that seemed inconceivable five months ago for a team that was 7-59 and 21-61 the previous two seasons. "He talked to them about the progress that he had seen and praised them for their attitude and togetherness as a team," coach Steve Clifford said. "And he let them know, which I thought was perfect, the toughest part is ahead. We made our first step and it now gets tougher. It was a great message." A message that apparently inspired the Bobcats, currently seventh in the Eastern Conference. Al Jefferson scored 28 points, Kemba Walker had 20 points and 14 assists, and the Bobcats (29-33) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 101-92 for their sixth straight win at home, surpassing their win total from the previous two seasons combined. It was an important win for the Bobcats, who improved to 3-0 this season against the Cavaliers and now own the tiebreaker against both Detroit and Cleveland, the ninth- and 10th-place teams in the East. "If that dont motivate you, I dont know what will," Jefferson said of Jordan addressing the team. Clifford said he asked Jordan to speak to the players before the game and he gladly accepted the invitation. He said players were "locked in" to every word Jordan spoke. "Lets face it, if youre coaching anywhere, he would be the first guy that you would say, Would you mind coming to talk to our team?" Clifford said. "Im saying hes our owner and, shoot, you are always looking for a little edge. I thought it was perfect." Said Jefferson: "He told us he was proud of us, but we have a long way to go. We cant be happy with what we have done so far. We have to continue to grow and get better." It was a huge loss for Cleveland. Dion Waiters and Luol Deng each scored 19 points for the Cavaliers, who began the night 3 1/2 games behind Atlanta for the final playoff spot in the East. They now trail Charlotte by 5 1/2 games. "It hurts," Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said. "Especially knowing where were sitting and where theyre sitting right now, its a tough loss." Jefferson shot 12 of 18 from the field and reached 20 points for the 22nd time in his last 24 games. Chris Douglas-Roberts added 14 points, including four 3-pointers, and a season-high nine rebounds. Charlottes six-game home winning streak is its longest since a seven-game run in March 2010. "There are 20 games left and its time to start talking about the playoffs -- about not just qualifying but getting our team game-ready for the playoffs and guys getting their individual games ready," Clifford said. The Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers by six points in each of the two previous meetings this season without Jefferson, who sat out both games with a sprained ankle. Jefferson had 38 points against Miami and 34 in a win over Indiana this week, and was a big factor from the outset against the Cavaliers. He used a series of pump fakes and up-and-under moves to fool the Cavaliers, and continued to knock down his mid-range jump shot. The 6-foot-10 centre scored 18 points in the first half on 8-of-10 shooting to help Charlotte build a 55-50 lead at the break despite the Cavaliers shooting 55 per cent from the field. Cleveland took an 81-80 lead on a pair of free throws by Waiters with 7 minutes left in the game. But Walker matched that with two free throws of his own and knocked down a jumper to spark a 15-5 run that put Charlotte safely ahead. The Cavaliers shot just 32 per cent in the second half, and Charlotte held Kyrie Irving to 13 points on 5-of-17 shooting. Irving came in averaging 24.5 points in his previous four games in Charlotte. Waiters said its not too late for the Cavaliers to make a playoff push. But theyll need to play much better than they did Friday night. "We have a chance and a shot, so why not? Why not us?" Waiters said. "Weve got to have a sense of urgency. The clock is ticking. The games are running out. Making the playoffs is right there and weve got a great opportunity." NOTES: Bobcats guard Gerald Henderson missed his third straight game with a right calf strain. ... Anderson Varejao (back) and C.J. Miles (ankle) were back at practice this week but didnt make the trip to Charlotte, which meant Spencer Hawes and Tristan Thompson were left to defend Jefferson. ... Josh McRoberts added 11 points and seven assists for the Bobcats. Authentic Derrick Rose Jersey .

Rooneys latest piece of football genius lost in the furore which now stalks David Moyes, and the man who gave the Manchester United striker his start as a 16-year old at Goodison Park back in 2002.MOSCOW - Manchester City was left struggling in the Champions League on Tuesday after squandering a two-goal lead and conceding a late penalty to draw 2-2 at CSKA Moscow in an empty stadium.Goals from Sergio Aguero and James Milner gave City a comfortable two-goal lead by halftime at Arena Khimki, where CSKA was made to play behind closed doors as punishment for racist behaviour by its fans.CSKA substitute Seydou Doumbia pulled one back in the 65th minute off a cross from Ahmed Musa and Bibras Natcho levelled in the 86th from the penalty spot after Doumbia was fouled by Aleksandar Kolarov.Having had the match under control, the result leaves City third in Group E with two points from three games. City is four points off leader Bayern Munich and two behind second-placed AS Roma, who play each other later Tuesday.Of course Im very disappointed, City coach Manuel Pellegrini said. It seemed so easy after the first half.He added that City now needed to show the free-scoring form that has taken it to second place in the English Premier League in its final three group matches.I said today we must win the last four games. I think really we were very near to winning this game, but things like this happen in football, he said.Now there are nine points more to play for, so I hope we will see the team that you saw in the first half and the team that you see in the Premier League.On a freezing night, City went ahead in the 29th minute when David Silva played Edin Dzeko through with a fine chipped pass and the Bosnian laid the ball off for Aguero to score.The Argentine then turned provider for Citys second goal nine minutes lateer, picking up a Pablo Zabaleta header and sending the ball toward the far post, where Milner tapped it in. Authentic Jimmy Butler Jersey. SKA ventured forward more after the break, substituting a defender for Doumbia. The home team was rewarded when the Ivory Coast striker steered home a cross by Musa.Doumbia was also involved in the equalizer, when the referee ruled he was tripped by Kolarov. CSKAs Israeli midfielder Natcho stepped up to take the spot-kick in the 86th minute, putting the ball just beyond the reach of Joe Hart.Late on, CSKA came close to a winner when Musa worked his way into a good position, but his shot went wide of the post.City has failed to advance from the Champions League group stage in two of the last three seasons.CSKA is fourth in Group E with one point after ending a run of six defeats in Champions League games stretching back to last season.CSKA coach Leonid Slutsky said he was very pleased with the result after coming into the game with a difficult team situation due to injuries.Almost a year to the day after CSKA fans abused Citys Yaya Toure with monkey chants, the match was played without fans as part of CSKAs punishment for racist behaviour and violence by fans in last months 5-1 defeat to Roma.That was CSKAs third case of racism in less than a year and prompted a UEFA punishment of three home games in an empty stadium and two away games without CSKA fans.However, around 200 CSKA fans were in the stadium, apparently having obtained tickets intended for sponsors. Many more CSKA fans gathered outside the stadium to support their team and their chants were audible from inside the ground.
