LeBron James led Cavaliers to 106-94 victory by scoring 41

Wearing one blue shoe and one orange shoe to go with his blue and orange Cavaliers jersey, LeBron James had 41 points and 10 rebounds while leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 106-94 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night.


The Blazers simply had no solution for James. His layup capped a 12-0 Cleveland run in the second quarter that stretched the lead to 46-31, and the Cavaliers led 64-49 at the break. James finished the first half with 31 points— the most the Blazers have allowed in a half this season. It was really a big blow to the team and the fans who were still excited with last Friday’s 107-98 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Blazers top performer Brandon Roy scored 34 points had had 4 rebounds for his team. His 3-pointer with 6:55 left tied it at 87. But Anderson Varejao hit a layup to give the Cavaliers back the lead at 91-89. Then Mo William’s 3-pointer extended it to 95-89, and after a couple of costly Blazers turnovers, Jawad Williams hit a 3-pointer to stretch it to 98-89 with 2:58 left and Cleveland led the rest of the way.

James again top performer in Cavaliers’ win over the Bucks

The Cleveland Cavaliers won their fifth straight game by beating the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night, making the sale of LeBron James jersey even hotter.

Again being the team’s top performer, James scored 26 points with 10 rebounds and eight assists in leading the Cleveland to an 85-82 win over the Bucks. Mo Williams added 17 points, being the second best performer.

It was also the Cavaliers’ ninth straight game at home and gave Cleveland some needed momentum to begin a four-game road trip that will include a Christmas Day game against the NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.

As for the Bucks, Ersan Ilyasova was the top performer with 18 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist. Rookie Brandon Jennings scored 18 points and was near to help his team win, but the speedy point guard fired up an air ball on a 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds left that would have tied it. Jennings, who was just 5 of 21 from the field, took the last attempt with Williams in his face.
