AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Kyrie Irvings last-minute 3-pointer helped seal another victory for Cleveland -- and the Cavaliers longest winning streak since LeBron James left. Irving connected from beyond the arc with 27.2 seconds remaining, and Cleveland went on to a 93-89 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. The Cavaliers have won four in a row for the first time since an eight-game streak in March 2010, not long before James departed for Miami. "Its been fun," said Irving, who was drafted by Cleveland with the No. 1 pick in 2011. "Four in a row -- this is the first time in my career. Its a big step." Tristan Thompson scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter for Cleveland, overpowering Detroits vaunted front line as the Cavs rallied from a 10-point deficit in the final period. The Pistons had their three-game winning streak snapped. Andre Drummond had 16 points and 17 rebounds for the Pistons, but he didnt do much in the fourth quarter, when Thompson took control inside. Cleveland led by one in the final minute when Irving made his big 3-pointer as the shot clock expired to put the Cavs ahead 89-85. Cleveland beat the Pistons for the first time in eight meetings. Detroit was playing its second game under interim coach John Loyer after Maurice Cheeks was fired Sunday, and this was a repeat of the problems the Pistons have had all season at home. Detroit has lost six games at The Palace when leading after three quarters. "We didnt guard as well as we did in the first three quarters," Loyer said. "They dominated the boards down the stretch. They got too many second shots. When you lead for 46 minutes, you expect to win the game." It was 76-66 in the fourth when the Cavaliers cut into the lead with an 8-0 run capped by Thompsons dunk off a nice pass from Irving. Detroit tried to hold on, but Irving made two free throws with 2:06 remaining, giving Cleveland its first lead of the game at 82-81. Josh Smith spun to the basket for a dunk to put the Pistons back ahead, but Thompson came up with an offensive rebound and dunked to put the Cavs up 84-83. After Smith missed inside, a put-back dunk by Thompson at the other end made it 86-83. Kyle Singler cut Clevelands lead to one when he made two free throws with 51.4 seconds left, but with the Cavaliers next possession seemingly going nowhere, Irving found enough space to make his second 3-pointer of the game -- and Detroit never recovered. "Ive got to be better down the stretch and make that final box-out -- thats what got them going," Drummond said. "When Thompson got that put-back, and Kyrie hit that big 3 down the stretch, too, Ive got to put that on my shoulders. Thats on me." Irving finished with 23 points. Thompson had seven of his 15 rebounds in the fourth quarter. With so much mediocrity in the Eastern Conference this season, hardly anyone is really out of the playoff race. Detroit trails Charlotte by a half-game for the eighth and final post-season spot. Cleveland is three back of the Bobcats. "It was a big game for us -- especially the last game before the All-Star break," Thompson said. "A lot of teams come out thinking about the beach and being on vacation, but for us, we wanted to finish out the week strong." Drummond had 10 offensive rebounds, but the Pistons poor outside shooting finally caught up to them. Detroit went 9 for 38 outside the paint, including 4 of 23 from 3-point range. Rodney Stuckey was limited to 12 minutes for Detroit because of dizziness, and Cleveland was without Anderson Varejao, who sat out a second straight game with a sore back. NOTES: Rookie Anthony Bennett, who had his first career double-double on Tuesday in a win over Sacramento, scored only two points against Detroit. ... Drummond had only two points and two rebounds in the fourth quarter. Wholesale Shoes Australia Online . At times during a solid but not spectacular season, they looked all three. Still the defending AFC champions persevered, riding their top-ranked defence and key contributions from younger players to a 12-4 record and their eighth playoff appearance since 2000, remarkable consistency in a league where change is the only constant.

Narrow fairways, thick rough and lightning-fast greens mean that five-over par, the score with which Angel Cabrera won when the tournament was played here in 2007, will surely have a chance as the USGA set out to make their national championship as demanding as possible.With four top-10 finishes in five US Opens and a near-flawless game which includes magical touch around the greens, Jason Day is the man to beat as he seeks to double his major tally and win for the fourth time this season. Rory McIlroy has to prove he can tough out and win in a likely over-par total while Jordan Spieths iron play was poor at Muirfield Village last time, while he has the added pressure of defending the title he won in such dramatic fashion a year ago. Could Phil Mickelson end his winless run this week? Day would get the token vote of the market leaders but Id rather take four-times the price - around 28/1 - that Phil Mickelson can finally land the one major missing from his trophy cabinet.Mickelsons brilliant US Open record includes everything but a win and helps dispel the myth that you need to be incredibly accurate from the tee to compete, even at a course like Oakmont.Cabrera blasted his way to the title here nine years ago and Mickelson, who is inside the top five on the PGA Tour in putting this season and was second in Memphis on Sunday, may be able to follow a similar path to glory and complete the career grand slam three years on from his famous Open Championship win. Ways to watch How to watch the US Open live on Sky Sports Almost all of his strong performances in this event, including four runner-up finishes, have come in this part of the US and hell be raring to go having really found some confidence over the last two events, striking it brilliantly in Ohio before holing almost everything last week.There are plenty of other strong candidates to keep the trophy on home soil, including in-form Dustin Johnson, but former FedEx Cup winner Billy Horschel looks better value at 100/1. Horschel has started to rediscover his scoring touch on the back of a disappointing 2015, which followed on from that brilliant, $10m triumph in the autumn of 2014 when for a time he looked like the best player on the planet.With 12 cuts made in a row - a record just two players can better -- its a matter of time before Horschel goes really close again and this demanding tee-to-green test should suit one of the PGA Tours best ball-strikers.dddddddddddd Horschel has already posted three top-10s this season Three years ago, Horschel led the US Open at halfway having hit 18 greens out of 18 in the second round at Merion and that helps indicate what he can do when everything clicks.Matt Kuchar could also give the home fans something to shout about as hes one of the in-form players in the world right now.With four top-six finishes in a row and six top-10s in his last eight, Kuchar is back to his very best and can be strongly fancied to build on a very good US Open record which includes six cuts made in a row dating back to 2010. Kuchar has finished inside the top-six in his past four starts Granted, he doesnt always finish the job off when in the mix but with an ace short-game and confidence with the driver, this really could be his week to add a major to his Players Championship and WGC titles.Of the European contingent, Martin Kaymer appears overpriced at nearly 80/1 in places.The German is a two-time major champion, dont forget, and with top-10s in three of his last five starts heads to Oakmont in something like peak form. Kaymer stormed to an eight-shot win in 2014 A patient player who hits a lot of greens when on-song and is a brilliant lag putter, the 32-year-old could be a huge factor as he seeks to add to his 2014 win in the event and climb into the Ryder Cup reckoning.Finally, Australias Marc Leishman is a strong each-way contender at around 100/1.Three top-five finishes in majors show that Leishman can peak for the big events and while his US Open record is only average, this course should suit a player with no obvious weaknesses and who secured a really impressive win at the end of 2015.Two quiet top-15 finishes serve as a lovely preparation and he could sneak under the radar and into contention.Watch the US Open throughout the week live on Sky Sports - your home of golf Also See: Oakmont course guide How Spieth won in 2015 US Open latest news Golf live on Sky Sports 4 ' ' '
