Lebron wills triple-double in Cavs 102-87 victory

Yesterday was all show and no tell for the Cleveland Cavs' Lebron James. He stuffed down 30 points while collecting 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a win over the Grizzles. To make an empathetic statement for a somewhat stifled bench due to absences Lebron put on a show as usual. As a whole the Cavaliers shot 53% from the field in the game. With Big Z and Ben Wallace out of action it took a good team effort even against the struggling Memphis Grizzles. Delonte West aided the scoring caused by dropping 19 points while dishing out 4 assists. With momentum in their favor Cleveland jumps to 30-6 on the season.

The bench contributed 28 points for the Cavs. No one will be a bigger threat when they're hot in my view within the Eastern conference this year than those determined Cavaliers. With a long schedule still remaining they will have upcoming encounters with the Hornets, Kings, Raptors, and Lakers. There is no question about what King James brings to the table on any given night because his heart, will to win, and fierce competitiveness make him a strong candidate once again for MVP honors. That will come later in the year. The focus now for the Cavaliers is staying healthy and grinding it out for the rest of the way. Good luck to the Cavs in their pursuit for a top spot in the Eastern conference.
