CLEVELAND -- Not even the polar vortex could cool off C.J. Miles. While Cleveland was frozen to its core by an arctic blast of sub-zero temperatures, Miles put on a blistering performance, making a team record 10 3-pointers and scoring a season-high 34 in leading the Cavaliers to a 111-93 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. Miles made eight 3s in the first half, when the Cavs opened a 26-point lead that allowed them to coast to a rare easy win. He notched his record-breaking ninth 3 with 9:53 left and drained No. 10 with 9:17 remaining. He went 10 of 14 outside the arc. "I got some clean looks," Miles said. "Im still mad because there were a couple that I thought I could have made. But my teammates looked for me and set some screens that allowed me to get open, and all I had to do was get my feet set." Clevelands second victory in 10 games came hours after the club acquired forward Luol Deng from Chicago in a trade for centre Andrew Bynum and future draft picks. Deng wasnt in uniform, but Cavs All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving returned after missing three games with a bruised left knee and finished with 16 points and eight assists in 30 minutes. Sixers rookie Michael Carter-Williams scored a season-high 33, but Philadelphia couldnt stop Miles. "When somebody like that is rolling you have to be aware of where he is every second," Sixers coach Brett Brown said. "He got away from us. You give him credit, but we didnt get the job done on him defensively." Philadelphias Thaddeus Young, the reigning Eastern Conference player of the week, missed all seven of his shots and didnt score in 21 minutes. Evan Turner wasnt much help, scoring four points on 2 of 13 shooting. Anderson Varejao added 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Cavs, who had lost several close games over the past two weeks but enjoyed their most lopsided win this season. Miles helped them locked this one up early. His eight 3s in the first half tied a franchise mark he owned with three others and he was taking aim at the league record of 12 shared by Kobe Bryant (2003) and Donyell Marshall (2005). Miles missed his only 3 in the third, but returned in the fourth and knocked down two 3s in a span of 36 seconds to give the Cavaliers a 101-72 lead, rewriting the teams record book. Cavs coach Mike Brown left Miles in, but he missed a 3 with 7:43 left and was replaced moments later. Miles untucked his jersey as he walked off the floor and received a loud ovation as he was welcomed to the bench by smiling, high-fiving teammates. "We called his number quite a lot tonight," Brown said, "and our guys were finding him on their own. For us, it was real beautiful basketball to watch." The Sixers, who gave up 16 3-pointers and 126 points in a loss to Minnesota on Monday, were slow in their defensive rotations and left Miles wide open. He made them pay. Miles drained four 3s in the final 2:39 of the first quarter and made his first six attempts from long range before missing twice on one possession. But he quickly regained his stroke, and his eighth 3 gave Cleveland a 64-38 lead. "They looked for me," Miles said. "They ran some plays for me. Kyrie called some plays. Coach called some plays. The big guys screened for me, and they got me open. All I had to do was be square to the basket and everything else was just like in practice." Playing their fifth game in seven days, the Sixers were down 23 at halftime and never put a run together to challenge the Cavs. Philadelphias perimeter defence was awful and has been a problem all season. Brooklyns Joe Johnson knocked down 10 3s against the Sixers last month. Brett Brown pulled starters Young, Turner and Spencer Hawes early in the third and they didnt return. "It was flogging a dead horse," he said. "It wasnt going to happen. Our guys werent going to find anything extra. You could just see it their body language and their eyes." NOTES: Miles 14 3-point attempts were a club record. ... The Cavs start a five-game, West Coast trip in Utah on Friday. ... Deng reportedly rejected a three-year, $30 million extension from the Bulls last week, hastening his exit. Hes eligible for free agency this summer, but the Cavs control his Bird rights and can offer him more money than anyone else. Its possible theyll offer him an extension. "This is a big transition for him and helping him settle in is important," general manager Chris Grant said. "Once we get through all that then we can sit down and talk about what the future looks like." ... The Sixers waived backup C Daniel Orton. ... Sixers G Tony Wroten (flu) didnt make the trip.

Welcome Mats? Manchester City is the latest team to be linked to Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels. The German international is a wanted man in the BPL and the Daily Express reports that the defending champions are looking to the 25-year-old to help assuage issues in the back. City captain Vincent Kompany picked up an apparent hamstring injury during Saturdays 1-0 victory over Leicester City, while Matija Nastasic could be in line to link up with former manager Roberto Mancini at Inter. Hummels wont come cheap, though, with reports that Dortmund, struggling mightily in the Bundesliga this season and currenly 16th in the the table, have placed a £47 million price tag on the defender. Arsenal, still without Mathieu Debuchy, Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal, and Manchester United, decimated with injuries to their defence, have also been linked to Hummels in recent months. Adding Adnan? With minutes becoming scarce at Old Trafford, Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is reportedly interested in sending teenage winger Adnan Januzaj out on loan so that the Belgian international can get in some more first-teamm playing time.dddddddddddd. The Daily Star reports that Inters Roberto Mancini is interested in bringing in an attacking player in January and Januzaj could fit the bill. Januzajs former manager, David Moyes, is also reportedly keen on bringing Januzaj to play under him again at Real Sociedad. Januzaj, who made his international bow with Belgium in the lead-up to last summers World Cup, has made only nine league appearances for United this season and has yet to score. In 27 league games last year, Januzaj scored four times. An American in Germany? Werder Bremen is desperate to kickstart its offence and is reportedly looking at Sunderlands American international Jozy Altidore for help. According to the Sunderland Echo, the Bundesliga basement-dwellers are sounding out a move for the 24-year-old, despite the fact that Altidore, himself, is almost as goal-starved as Bremen is. Recently returning to manager Gustavo Poyets first-choice starting XI after a spell relegated to the periphery, including in Saturdays 1-1 draw with West Ham, Altidore hasnt found the score sheet for the Black Cats in over a year. Even with Altidores poor form, Bremen might not be Altidores only suitor. Ligue 1 side Lille is also reportedly interested in his services. It is believed that Sunderland values the player in the £7 million range. ' ' '
