LeBron's late surge not enough, as Spurs hold off Cavs for 2-0 lead

Basketball Betting Lines

06/11/2007 - San Antonio, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tony Parker poured in 30 points on 13-of-20 shooting from the field as the San Antonio Spurs held off the Cleveland Cavaliers, 103-92, in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Tim Duncan added 23 points, eight assists and nine rebounds for San Antonio, which leads the best-of-seven series 2-0.

Manu Ginobili scored 25 points and was 11-of-11 from the free throw line for the Spurs, who are going for their fourth NBA championship in nine seasons and look to take a commanding 3-0 lead as the series shifts to Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland for Game 3 on Tuesday.

LeBron James, who was hampered by foul trouble early in the contest, netted 25 points for Cleveland, which trailed by as many as 28 points in the first half and could never recover despite a late surge.

Drew Gooden contributed 13 points and six rebounds for the Cavaliers, who outscored the Spurs 30-14 in the fourth quarter to make a run, but it wasn't enough to overcome their poor performance the rest of the contest.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
