CLEVELAND -- Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and the Charlotte Bobcats kept playing, even when they trailed by double digits in the third quarter. Adeiny Hechavarria Jersey . They eventually found a way to get past the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kidd-Gilchrist scored 16 points and the Bobcats used a strong fourth quarter to defeat the Cavaliers 86-80 on Friday night. "Its a new season, new guys, a new staff, new everything," Kidd-Gilchrist said. "Ill take this win. Ill take any win we can get this season. One step at a time." While its only November, the Bobcats are feeling good about themselves. Charlotte is 5-4 after finishing 21-61 last season. "A lot of it just comes down to how badly the guys in the locker room want to win," first-year coach Steve Clifford said. "Its a great win, a win on the road against a physical team that plays good defence." Kyrie Irving, wearing a mask to protect a nasal fracture, had 18 points and 10 assists for Cleveland, which lost for the first time in four games at home. The Cavaliers (3-7) have lost three straight and five of six. Clevelands wins have come by four, one and two points. "We just didnt play with any sense of urgency at all defensively," coach Mike Brown said. "We didnt do anything we were supposed to do." The Cavaliers are 0-6 on the road and play in Washington on Saturday. The Bobcats outscored the Cavaliers 29-22 in the final period to win for only the second time in 16 games at Quicken Loans Arena. The Bobcats trailed 53-41 midway through the third quarter, but cut the lead to 58-57 going into the fourth quarter. Anthony Tollivers 3-pointer put Charlotte ahead 60-58 for its first lead of the game and the Bobcats never trailed again. Kidd-Gilchrist had eight points in the fourth, including a three-point play that gave Charlotte an 81-70 lead with 6:08 remaining. Ramon Sessions and Kemba Walker hit 3-pointers and Cody Zeller added a three-point play to spark the Bobcats run. Cleveland trailed 82-76 before Josh McRoberts 3-pointer from the corner with 1:02 remaining sealed the win. McRoberts scored 13 points while Sessions and Walker added 12 apiece. Jeff Taylor scored 11 points for Charlotte, which won 89-83 in Boston on Wednesday. Charlotte cut a 10-point deficit to four at halftime, but the Cavaliers began the third quarter on a 16-8 spurt. Irving was hit in the face by an elbow from Minnesotas Corey Brewer on Wednesday. The All-Star point guard has a bruise under his right eye and will wear the mask for an undetermined period of time. "The mask was awful, but Ive got to play through it," said Irving, who was 5 of 16 from the field. "Hopefully, it will help me shoot better." Tristan Thompson and Earl Clark each scored 15 points for the Cavaliers. Bobcats centre Al Jefferson missed the game because of the sore right ankle thats bothered him since training camp. He played in Charlottes last two games after missing its previous five. Hes averaging team highs of 15 points and 8.7 rebounds. Jefferson also missed the Bobcats 90-84 win over the Cavaliers in Charlotte on Nov. 1. Cleveland played its second straight game without centre Andrew Bynum, who was excused by the team to address a family medical matter. Bynum is expected to return for Saturdays game. Cavaliers forward Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, scored two points and is 4 for 35 from the field this season. NOTES: Cavaliers G Dion Waiters didnt play because of the flu and wont travel to Washington. C.J. Miles started at shooting guard. Clark started at small forward in place of Alonzo Gee. ...

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Mired by mistakes, the Seattle Seahawks still slogged out a win at Lambeau Field. After steamrolling over their first two preseason opponents, the Seahawks nearly tripped themselves up in a 17-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Friday night. All the pushing and shoving, and the penalties -- 14 for Seattle, and 22 for both teams -- in part overshadowed Seattles victory in a matchup of NFC heavyweights. "We really looked at it as an opportunity to take the challenge of getting on the road and getting a win," Carroll said. "But the distractions of giving up 180-something yards in penalties is ridiculous and hard to deal with and feel like you played well." It was exactly 182 yards in penalties, in fact for the Seahawks. Thankfully for Carroll, two backups came up big. Christine Michael ran for 97 yards on 11 carries and Stephen Williams snatched a ball away from cornerback Loyce Means in the end zone for a 42-yard touchdown catch and the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. Michael had a 43-yard touchdown run in the third quarter for the Seahawks (3-0), who stayed unbeaten but didnt look like the team that routed Denver and San Diego the previous two weeks. For Michael, it was another impressive preseason performance after sitting out last week due to back spasms. Michael ran for 89 yards on 16 carries in the first preseason game against San Diego. "We were kind of beating ourselves with the penalties," Michael said Friday. "But it was a hump we had to get over, we did and we came out with the victory." The Packers Vince Young, vying for the backup job behind starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, orchestrated an 11-play, 80-yard drive in the third quarter that ended with a 1-yard touchdown pass to backup fullback Jonathan Amosa to tie it at 10. Young was 6 of 7 for 41 yards and ran three times 31 yards, keeping plays alive with his legs as if he was running around in a Texas Longhorns uniform again. Rodgers looked fine in his only series, Green Bays sole possession of the first quarter. He finished 4 of 7 for 41 yards, including a 22-yard connection to tight end Jermichael Finley to the Seattle 24 to help set up Mason Crosbys 38-yard field goal. The Packers (1-2) pulled most of their starters by the second quarter as coach Mike McCarthy sought to get more evaluations on backups with roster cut-down deadlines approaching. "We want to win the game, we wanted to win tonight, especially at home, but there was more information that was needed," McCarthy said. This game instead will be remembered for some defence, and a hhost of mistakes and sloppy play -- not exactly what Carroll or McCarthy were looking for with the regular season a little more than two weeks away. Wilson Ramos Jersey. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, returning to the state where he turned into a college star at Wisconsin, finished 11 of 17 for 126 yards but threw two interceptions, including a pass tipped by two defenders that landed in the opportunistic hands of Casey Hayward. "The good thing is we won the game. The disappointing part is the turnovers," Wilson said. "I can never do that. I think thats my main focus." Wilson looked in midseason form on the opening series against the Packers first-string defence in the first quarter, guiding Seattle to the 9 by gaining chunks of yardage on long pass plays. But running back Robert Turbin was stuffed on first down. Then, the 5-foot-10 Turbin was overmatched on the edge trying to block 6-foot-3 linebacker Clay Matthews, who sacked Wilson. Seattle settled for Steven Hauschkas 27-yard field goal. "Obviously, that was a big emphasis for us last year and even more so this year, is limiting his ability to create plays by running out of the pocket," Matthews said at halftime. "Hes going to make his plays, but I felt for the most part, not only myself, but as a rushing unit, we did a good job of keeping him bottled up in the pocket, forcing some errant throws and getting after him." The Seahawks have been a chic pick to get to the Super Bowl, especially after beating their first two preseason opponents by a combined score of 71-20. Big plays propelled Seattle last week to a 40-10 rout of the Broncos. But penalties weighed down both teams on a warm evening, especially the Seahawks. They had twice as many penalties (six) as points in a chippy first half. Perhaps memories of last years meeting between the teams sparked the pushing and shoving that marked much of the evening. The game on Sept. 24 ended with Golden Tates disputed touchdown catch after tussling for the ball with Packers safety M.D. Jennings that was upheld on review by replacement officials. That moment will forever be remembered as the tipping point that got the regular officials back on the field. Tate didnt do much in limited time at Lambeau. He caught one pass for 4 yards, and was booed by the Packers faithful after being announced as the punt returner over the stadium loudspeakers. Asked if there was any carry-over from last years game, Jennings said: "I cant speak for anyone else. Last year was last year. The only thing is we showed up tonight to play Packer football."
