Cavs win but Love gets "stinger"...11 straight for Warriors...Celtics work OT

UNDATED (AP)— Kobe Bryant's final game in Cleveland was reduced to a sideshow when Cavaliers forward Kevin Love re-injured his surgically repaired left shoulder in the first half of a 120-111 win over the L.A. Lakers.

Kyrie Irving scored a season-high 35 points and LeBron James 29 for the Cavs, who head into the All-Star break with one of their "Big 3" injured.

Love quickly left the floor late in the second quarter after he got hurt while working in the post against Bryant. He did not return in the second half. Following the game Love said he only has a "stinger" and doesn't expect to miss any time.

Bryant finished with 17 points in his last performance in Cleveland.

NASCAR-STEWART'S REPLACEMENT

AP Source: Vickers to replace Tony Stewart

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The Associated Press has learned Brian Vickers will replace injured driver Tony Stewart for the NASCAR season opener at Daytona International Speedway.

Stewart-Haas Racing has scheduled a Friday news conference to discuss its plans for the No. 14 Chevrolet.

Vickers ran only two races last season before suffering a recurrence of blood clots. He can't compete when being treated for the clots because the blood thinners increase his risk of serious internal bleeding if he crashes.

Stewart is sidelined for the start of his final NASCAR season with a fractured vertebra. He was hurt riding an all-terrain vehicle in the desert in California last week.
