Irving takes blame as 4th-quarter TOs bury Cavs

CHICAGO -- Following a 105-102 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night in which Kyrie Irving coughed up three fourth-quarter turnovers, the Cleveland Cavaliers' point guard took the blame for the result.

"I was just real s----y with the basketball, that's all," Irving said. "Handle wasn't crisp and Justin Holiday through great defensive pressure at the top of the key and their defense was extending me out almost to half court. For me, just coming to the bench, I just got to do a better job of leading that second unit -- especially when Bron [James] and Kevin [Love] are on the bench.
