HOUSTON -- During a timeout in the first quarter of Friday night's game, Houston Dynamo owner and fight legend Oscar De La Hoya "boxed" Rockets mascot Clutch, dropping the bear with a nasty 1-2 combination.
The Rockets were De La Hoya. The Cavaliers were Clutch. An early knockout.
Unlike the first meeting between the two teams, a stunning win for the Cavs on Nov. 24 that looked to be a pivotal moment in the season, Houston clubbed Cleveland 141-113 in the rematch.
It's the 12th straight loss for the Cavs. They haven't won on the road in more than a month, with the last win away from The Q coming in Brooklyn on Dec.
