A person familiar with the decision says the Cavaliers have fired coach David Blatt, who led the team to the NBA Finals last season. Blatt’s top assistant, Tyronn Lue, will to take over as coach. Blatt was bothered by the criticism his team, led by LeBron James, received after a 34-point loss to the defending champion Warriors this week. [...] despite injuries and a team learning to mesh with stars James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, the Cavs still made it to the Finals before losing to the Warriors in six games. Smith played in 32 games for the Clippers this season, averaging 5.7 points and 3.9 rebounds. Kevin Love added 18 points and 16 rebounds for the Cavs, who were playing their first home game since being humiliated in a 34-point loss to the Warriors on Monday. Rajon Rondo made a clutch basket in the fourth quarter and had his fifth triple-double of the season with 11 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. The Kings had dropped 15 straight games to the Hawks since a 119-107 victory on Feb.
