Speedy Claxton started Tuesday night's overtime win over Cleveland at Quicken Loans Arena but didn't finish. Soreness in his knees forced him to sit out the second half, and Tyronn Lue replaced him in the starting unit.

Claxton missed the last half of Monday's practice icing his sore knees, the result of him missing five weeks ? all but a week of training camp ? recovering from a broken finger.

Claxton played 15 minutes in the first half and was 0-for-4 from the floor with two assists and two turnovers.

"We were a man down, and we had to pick it up for him," said Lue, whose layup at the regulation buzzer forced overtime.
