The games two best players will be showcased Thursday night when LeBron James leads the Cleveland Cavaliers into Chesapeake Energy Arena to face the newly-healthy Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Catch all the action as the first part of a doubleheader tonight at 8pm et/5pm pt on TSN2. The Cavs have won eight in a row, which is the third-longest current streak in the NBA. The Thunder have won three straight, five of their last six and are 3-1 since Durant, the reigning MVP, returned from offseason foot surgery. Durant won his first MVP last season with James finishing second in the vote. Durant finished second the previous two seasons to James. The titles chase is no contest with LeBron up, 2-0. The Cavs winning streak reached eight this week thanks to a win in Brooklyn on Monday night, when James wore an I Cant Breathe shirt and met Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton. One night later, the hoopla was less, but the opponent was tougher. Cleveland topped the Eastern Conference-leading Toronto Raptors, 105-101, at Quicken Loans Arena. James joined Mark Price at the top of the Cavaliers all-time 3-pointers made list in style. James go-ahead triple with 48.1 seconds left lifted the Cavaliers to victory. Toronto shot 58.1 percent (38-of-62) through the first three quarters and led by as many as 10 in the fourth, but Cleveland held the Raptors to a 30 percent (6-of-20) clip in the final frame. The Cavs outscored them 20-6 in the final 8:37. In the fourth quarter we really amped up our defensive intensity, Cleveland head coach David Blatt said. That was a tough, hard victory. James finished with 35 points, Kevin Love posted 17 points and nine rebounds and Kyrie Irving added 13 points and 10 assists for Cleveland, which beat Toronto for the second time in five days. The eight-game run is Clevelands longest since it also won eight in a row in March 2010. After a loss in New Orleans in Durants season debut on Dec. 2, the Thunder have won three straight. Thursdays contest will be the stiffest challenge for a healthy OKC squad as its three consecutive victories came over the Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks. The win over the Bucks on Tuesday was Durants season home debut. To be out for so long and finally get a chance to play in front of our home crowd, it felt good, said Durant. Getting my name called in the starting lineup, that was fun. Russell Westbrook, who returned one game before Durant after hand surgery, combined with Durant for 51 points on Tuesday. Westbrook finished with a game- high 28 points, Durant scored 23 and both handed out seven assists in the victory. Reggie Jackson donated 18 points off the bench and Serge Ibaka made all five of his shots and free throws for 15 points. The two teams have split the previous eight meetings, but the Cavs have won two of their last three in Oklahoma City, including last season when James was on the Miami Heat. Avisail Garcia Jersey .

"Underachiever traits," the report reads. "Suspect maturity, dependability and decision-making." The criticisms are nothing new. Henderson was dealing with them well before Buffalo selected him in the seventh round out of the University of Miami. "I dont really think about what anybody really said," Henderson said, referring to the pre-draft assessment. "I know who I am. And I know what I can do. And I know what I can be." Henderson is not hiding from the mistakes that sidetracked what had the makings of a promising career. Four years ago, he drew comparisons to NFL star tackles Jonathan Ogden and Orlando Pace, while being regarded as one of the nations top recruits coming out of high school in St. Paul, Minnesota. Today, hes grateful to have a shot at playing professionally after acknowledging that marijuana use led to him being suspended several times at Miami, and also confirming he tested positive again for marijuana at the NFL combine in February. Henderson insists thats behind him. "I feel like in college, I had a lot of maturing to do, sir," he said during a three-day rookie minicamp that ended on Monday. "But at the same time, I have no regrets. Im happy where Im at. I wouldnt change it for anything, sir. Im happy to be here in Buffalo." Its in Buffalo where Henderson can begin focusing on whats ahead, while appreciating hes run out of second chances. "I know for a fact this is the last chance Ive got, sir," Henderson said. "Ive been through it all in my past four years at the University of Miami. And I know this is the last chance that Ive got to be successful. So I wont let it go." Henderson ends most every answer with "sir," a trait that dates to college. Whats new is the pat answer Henderson has begun to lean on when confronted with questions about how much he has to prove.dddddddddddd. "Ive got to prove that I can work as hard as any other guy here, be on time at all times and gain trust with the coaches," he said. "Being accountable, reliable and dependable does that." The Bills have been upfront with Henderson. "Weve talked to Seantrel, and he knows that hes got one shot," general manager Doug Whaley said. "Hes been dealing with some demons. Hopefully, those demons are out of his life. And why not give somebody -- this is America -- a second chance." At 6-foot-7 and 331 pounds, Henderson has the frame, skill and nimble footwork of someone capable of exceling at tackle. There were times at Miami where Henderson showed glimpses of his potential. He earned freshman All-American honours. Last year, he was credited with 10 blocks that resulted in touchdowns, and was invited to the Senior Bowl. And yet, there are the off-field concerns, some of which Henderson had little control over. In July 2012, Henderson mourned the loss of his best friend, Jordan Hughes, who was shot and killed in St. Paul. A few days later, he sustained a concussion after being involved in a car accident. In 2011, Henderson had surgery to repair a nagging back problem. Questions, however, have been raised over his passion for football. Bills coach Doug Marrone, a former offensive lineman, is keeping an open mind. "Its early. It really is. And for me, consistency is the thing. I think over a period of time well know," Marrone said. "There is no doubt that he can play. The problem is going to come into can he be consistent enough and disciplined enough and have the structure to be a pro." Henderson has plenty of reasons to be motivated, including his 2-year-old daughter and his mother. "I wake up in the morning, and the first thing I think about is my daughter and my mom, and these are people I feel that I have to provide for," Henderson said. "If I dont, then who else will?" ' ' '
