The Utah Jazz had a strong game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but LeBron James simply dominated the fourth quarter, helping his team eke out a 118-114 victory Tuesday night in Cleveland.

After making his Hollywood debut in “Trainwreck” this summer LeBron James has decided he needs an abode nearby, perhaps he’s got his eyes set on more films! The Cavs have won seven straight.
Both teams are off on Wednesday, and will regain play later in the week.
Small forward James tied his season high with 31 points, seven rebounds and eight assists in 38 minutes, while point guard Williams scored a season-best 29 points while only missing two shots in 36 minutes.
Thunder 125, Wizards 101: Kevin Durant left at halftime with a strained left hamstring and Russell Westbrook took over, compiling a triple-double with 22 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds to lead Oklahoma City. The difference? LeBron got to the line 12 times, Gordon only 4. Overall this season, the Jazz have been outscored 90-67 in the minutes Lyles has played. Our guys are not getting to the line when getting fouled.
Saraceno said: “In the 2013-14 NBA season the league introduced these form-fitting t-shirts, if you will. Not to be worn every game but to replace normal tank tops you see pro basketball players wear”. I love how hard this team played today – even Rudy Gobert who was seriously hurt came back in to patrol the paint. Alec Burks and Trey Burke combined for 40 of those points. You gotta love that. The reason for this is because James flexed his muscles with 6:05 left in the game after shaking off a bear hug from Rodney Hood to make a lay-up. That’s not to say that the starters weren’t balling.
PELICANS 120, MAVERICKS 105 Ryan Anderson scored 25 points as the New Orleans Pelicans snapped a season-opening, six-game losing streak with a 120-105 victory over the Dallas Mavericks at Smoothie King Arena. Utah finished this game without a block, somehow.
The way the Cleveland Cavaliers have been coasting to the franchise’s best start in nearly 30 years is incredible considering how the same team struggled so badly in the early goings last year.
