LeBron injures Jason Day's wife in Cavaliers win over Thunder

Tom Withers - Associated Press
CLEVELAND – LeBron James crashed into the crowd and injured a fan while scrambling for a loose ball Thursday night (Friday in  Manila) as the Cleveland Cavaliers held off Oklahoma City 104-100, ending the Thunder's six-game winning streak.
 
James plowed into a woman sitting next to PGA Tour golf star Jason Day in the fourth quarter. She was taken from the arena on a backboard.
 
Later reports indicated she was actually the Filipino-Australian golfer's wife, Ellie.
 
Earlier in the game, the Cavaliers' official Twitter account posted a photo of the Day couple (right) and two of their friends.
 
 
James scored 33 points and added 11 assists and nine rebounds. Tristan Thompson had 15 rebounds for the Cavs, who improved to 11-1 at home.
 
Russell Westbrook scored 27 and Kevin Durant 25 for the Thunder, who were down 98-89 with three minutes left. Oklahoma City closed within 103-100, but both Durant and Westbrook missed 3-pointers in the final 10 seconds.
 
The Cavaliers were missing guards Mo Williams, Iman Shumpert and Kyrie Irving, who could make his season debut Sunday (Monday in Manila) against Philadelphia.
 
Mrs. Day was taken to a nearby hospital according to an ESPN.com report. - With a report from Philstar.com
