Tweet of the Night: Spencer Hawes not amused by fan that rushed Kyrie Irving
What is it with fans feeling the urge to rush the court to greet Kyrie Irving during in-game action? For the second time this season, a fan in Quickens Loans Arena got on the floor and ran after Irving while the game was still going on between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Utah Jazz.

Tweet of the Day: LeBron James Busy Day In Social Media
LeBron James has been all over the internet for the past 24-hours. Thursday night, as he and the Miami Heat hosted the New York Knicks in what became a 26-point home victory, the internet was all abuzz over the carbon-fiber mask he wore to protect his broken nose.

Tweet of the Night: Maurice Harkless relieved to finally get a win on the road

Instead,
