>> thanks, frank. coming up in sports, the first meeting between the warriors and the cavs since the nba finals. and for the ducks, not much has -- the dubbs, nothing have changed much in terms of their fourth quarter performages. ,,,, i like to know what's happening as soon as it happens. who won the game, who won on the dancing show... ...i mean, if i watched that show.

same with my banking. with my bank of america mobile banking app, i can see my accounts all in one place. i can easily manage them and if something doesn't look right, i'm going to know. plus, i can set up alerts to help detect unusual activity. so i feel secure. wait, he won? that's an average tango... at best.

to give the cavs a gift in their 1st meeting since the nba ed all but 42 se this is the season of giving but for the warriors, they have to plan to

-- the dubb put a bow on another fourth quarter collapse. dubb nation well represented in cleveland today. draymond green not spreading christmas cheers after picking up two quick falls on a technical. seven durant throws it down and the huge dunk over kevin love. but back come the cavs. fourth quarter now. the warriors trying to pull away. the floater puts them up 14 with 9 1/2 to go. he led the warriors with 36 point. but cleveland would not go away. the dunk brings the cavs back to within 2. less than 2 to go. kyrie irving to lebron and nobody is stopping that freight train. lebron with 31 points. now tied at 105.

durant, scurry all alone and he drills the 3 to put the dubbs back on top. a rare bright spot for curry who was 4 for 11 shooting and held to 15 points. cavs down 1. and kyrie with another clutch shot. just like he did in game 7 in the finals. he scored 13 of his 25 in the fourth. three seconds left. last chance for the dubbs, they don't get the shot up. durant falls down with a him help from jefferson. cavs beat the warriors. >> i don't care if it's kr-ts game. any time you blow a 13-point lead, that pisses you off. of course, we are upset we lost. we should have won that game. we had that game in our hand. but nobody is sobbing in the locker room. golden state will turn home and play the next nine of the ten games. and why derek carr ended up spending christmas at home instead of at the hospital.

we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

place sometime this week... alex smith and the chiefs taking on the broncos... a li wasn't derek carr's surgery to repair his broken fibula was delayed because of the holidays. and alex smith and the chiefs take on the broncos. smith with the quick pass to kelce and the reality show star does the rest. 80-yard townsend that ended any

hopes -- touchdown that ended any hopes of the raiders chinning the division with a chiefs loss. and this is a defensive player here. the 346-pounder goes with the jump pass to dim truss harris and the chiefs win 33-10, eliminating the broncos from the playoffs. mike tomlin and the steelers trying to clinch the afc north. less than 90 seconds to play. pittsburgh up by 4. ravens fullback stays on his feet to give baltimore a three-point lead. but no panic from big ben. he marched the steelers right down the street and hit antonio brown with nine seconds left with the game winner. pittsburgh wins 31-27 clinching the division and ending the ravens' playoff hope. the six teams are set in the afc with seeding to be determined. raiders can clinch the afc west and a first round bye with a

win in denver but if they lose and kansas city wins, oakland would drop to the number 6 seed and charles minland led the don with 18 but he was the only player in double figures. san diego state would pull away late. part of a 10-1 run to close the game. aztecs beat the dons, 62-48. congratulations to get to the championship game. we'll be right back after this break. ,,,,
