The Cleveland Cavaliers are glad to have Lebron James back. His injury kept him on the sidelines for a few weeks in which span of time his team struggled to muster enough offense. For the first time Lebron came off the bench as a reserve in Tuesday night's game. The end result, a 118-105 win over the Pacers. In limited minutes King James scored 17 points while his teammates chipped in to carry the rest of the scoring load. The Cavs shot 50% from the beyond the arch and 54% from the field.Much of the credit for the victory is due to Larry Hughes who had a breakout performance, scoring 36 points (13-17 FG) adding 3 assists and 4 boards. He actually entered the game off the bench, playing 25 minutes. Cleveland fans were treated to a good game and didn't seem to give Anderson Varejao too much of a hard time as his made his season debut last night. With their superstar back this team is ready to make a change of pace and bump up their record. After Tuesday night's outcome the Cavs are 10-12.
Cleveland has to start getting serious now if they want to capture a top seed in the East again. Being 5.5 games back in the Central is okay at this point, sooner or later though they'll have to be concerned with the Pistons. The main priority is getting everyone healthy and on the same page. Lebron will put up his share of impressive totals throughout the season, but it's his teammates who will have to write the ship and show consistency.
