ORLANDO, Fla. -- At this point in the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers are hoping to make one last run at the playoffs and the Orlando Magic are looking for luck in the NBA draft lottery. Both improved their chances of reaching those goals Wednesday night as the Cavaliers beat the Magic 119-98 behind 26 points from Dion Waiters and 20 each from Spencer Hawes and Tristan Thompson. The easy win moved the Cavaliers within two games of New York and Atlanta for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs play at Atlanta Friday night. "This was a big game for us, but every game is big because of the position weve put ourselves in," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "There is nothing tricky that we have to do. We just have to out and play hard and give ourselves a chance." Waiters shot 10 for 15 from the field, including 3 for 3 on 3-pointers. "Weve still got a chance, we just need to take full advantage of it," he said. "We came in knowing we should get a win, but every game is hard. We have no choice at this point. We control our own destiny. Everybody knows what is at stake. We just have to stay focused." It helped the Cavaliers that All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving returned with a thump in his step after missing the last eight games with a torn bicep muscle. Irving had 17 points, eight assists and six rebounds in a seemless transition from the bench to the court. "Kyrie came in and got right in step with us," Brown said. "He helped us get the ball up the floor quickly and get into our attack. He gave us another weapon with a very high skill level." The Magic had little to be satisfied with other than solidifying their lottery spot with the third-worst record in the NBA. The Magic gave up 70 points in the first half, the best half all season for Cleveland and the most points Orlando has allowed in a half this year. "There is going to be a game in the course of the year where you just dont have it and when its coupled with a team like the Cavs who had it ... it just wasnt a good mix," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. "Some days, its just not your day." The Magic placed only one starter, Maurice Harkless, in double figures and he had 10 points. Rookie Victor Oladipo led Orlando with 16 points, Doron Lamb had 14, Tobias Harris 11 and ETwaun Moore 10, all off the bench. "Terrible, terrible game," Harris said. "Its not how we wanted to play and that shows us that there is no effort." Every Cleveland player in uniform scored as the Cavs shot 60.5 per cent in the first half and 57.7 per cent for the game in rolling over a defenceless Magic team that lost its second straight. Cleveland was 9 for 18 from beyond the 3-point line, most of them wide-open looks as Orlando struggled with defensive rotations the entire game. Cleveland had four of the five starters already in double figures by halftime. Hawes was 6 for 8 in the first two periods, including 4 for 5 on 3-pointers on his way to 18 points. Thompson had 14, Irving 13 and Waiters 10 as the Cavaliers starters combined to hit 24 of 33 shots (72.7 per cent) in the first two quarters. Deng was the only starter not in double figures, but still shot 4 for 5. The Magic, by contrast, didnt have a player score more than six points in the first half. Orlando had 11 turnovers that Cleveland turned into 16 points. The Magic trailed 49-42 after Oladipos 3-pointer with 6:11 left in the second quarter, but got only one field goal the rest of the half and were outscored 21-6 as Cleveland rolled to a 70-47 halftime lead. The closest Orlando got in the second half was 17 when Arron Afflalos 3 with 4:11 left in the third quarter made it 82-65. Afflalo, the Magics leading scorer this season, finished with seven points. Cleveland responded with a 10-0 run that started with a floater in the lane by Jack and ended with two free throws by Thompson to make it 92-65. Cleveland led by as many 28 points and cruised through the fourth quarter with little effort. NOTES: Cavs C Anderson Varajeo sat out the game with a sore shoulder. ... Magic C Nikola Vucevic, who had three straight games scoring 20-plus points for the first time all season coming into the game, scored only seven. ... Cleveland has beaten Orlando seven straight times. ... The Magic are 1-18 this season when teams shoot over 50 per cent. Cleveland shot 57.7 per cent in the game. Air Max 270 Baratas .

Hamilton took a six-point lead in the standings following victory at the Hungarian GP on Sunday, passing Rosberg on turn one of the first lap before cruising to victory.I gave it everything in the race, I had super pace, really fast, and I was able to keep the pressure on Lewis all the time, said Rosberg on his YouTube channel. At times it seemed that he was struggling a little bit so I was just trying to make sure I pushed him as much as possible so he wears out his tyres or makes a mistake, but in the end he made a mistake and I came really close but it wasnt enough to get past. But thats the way it is, Ive got to accept that and of course Ive lost the championship lead now. But it doesnt really make a difference to me, Im not counting points and theres still such a long way to go. [Ive got to] now put this one behind me and there are a lot positives from the weekend again.Rosberg, who had qualified on pole at the Hungaroring, also revealed he knew the race was lost early on after being passed by Hamilton into the first corner. The start was pretty good, but going into turn one Lewis was on the inside and he broke really deep, so he did well on that, and then [Daniel] Ricciardo was on the outside so I got stuck between the two of them and thats why I lost out and lost the win there really, he said. I was even third after turn one and I got second place back in turn two after getting [Ricciardo] on the inside returning the favour, but Lewis was already in front. So I already lost the win there and that was a big disappointment.There was controversy during Sundays race as Hamilton appeared at one stage to deliberately attempt to back-up Rosberg into Ricciardos Red Bull.Team boss Toto Wolff, however, denied the claims, insisting instead that Hamilton was just trying to manage his tyres.Im sure [Hamilton] didnt want to back him up. The whole weekend we were discussing their need to be very cautious on the tyres, said Wolff in his post-race press conference. We werent sure if it was a two stop or a three stop and if you hear the constant messaging that your tyres might not last then you want to manage them, and they managed them very well in the first stint on the super-softs, and then he brought on the softs, we didnt have any experience of those tyres, so he over-managed it probably.ddddddddddddHe had everything under control and he knew that Nico was behind him, he didnt realise that the train was approaching fast and that there was a different strategy behind him, so I guess it was the complete picture and for him it looked okay and thats why he took it easy. Lewis Hamilton insists he wasnt intentionally backing up Nico Rosberg into Daniel Ricciardo during the Hungarian GP Wolff also believes that the title race is far from over despite Hamilton taking the lead for the first time this season.I dont think [its over], said Wolff. At the beginning of the season [Nico] won so many points against Lewis and you can see it swings in both directions. Its about avoiding mistakes, DNFs is what can cost you the championship and I think were going to see that swing towards the end of the season. In my opinion the championship is going to go to the end.Dont miss the F1 Report: Hungarian GP review on Sky Sports F1 at 8.30pm on Wednesday as Marc Priestley and Ben Hunt join Natalie Pinkham in the studio to discuss the fallout from the Budapest race.
