And the beats go on for Cavs as Pacers roll

CLEVELAND — Thaddeus Young scored 26, Darren Collison had 25 and the Pacers sent the Cavaliers to their fourth straight loss, 124-107 Wednesday.

LeBron James had 33 points and 11 assists, but it wasn't enough to keep Cleveland from losing for the fifth time in six games and falling to 3-5.

The Cavaliers held a lengthy meeting before Tuesday's practice to discuss their struggles, but the defending Eastern Conference champs have lost by a combined margin of 58 points in their losing streak.

James was upbeat about the meeting, but the Cavaliers still have issues to work out, especially on the defensive end. Cleveland led 69-68 in the third quarter, but Indiana hit four straight 3-pointers and built an eight-point lead.

Indiana was 16-of-26 from 3-point range. Cleveland had allowed the second most 3s in the league going into the game.

Victor Oladipo scored 23 points for the Pacers. Bojan Bogdanovic added 17, and Domantas Sabonis had 15 points and 12 rebounds. Indiana showed little effect from playing the second end of a back-to-back. The Pacers rolled Sacramento 101-83 Tuesday and led for most of the first half.

SIXERS: Center Jahlil Okafor said his days with the team are likely over, adding he's okay with the club not picking up the fourth-year option of his deal. The No. 3 overall pick of the 2015 draft said he has asked for a buyout or trade. "Honestly, I did not want them to pick up my option," he said. "This is my career, and I'm not getting an opportunity here, which is fine. The team looks great and I'm not a part of that."

SPURS: Tony Parker was recalled from the team's G-League affiliate. The move comes one week after the veteran point guard started working out with the Austin Spurs as part of his rehab program. Parker is working his way back from a ruptured left quadriceps tendon.
