LeBron, Love and Mo lift Cleveland Cavaliers past Utah Jazz, 118-114 Author: Chris Haynes Publication: Cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio – For three and a half quarters Tuesday night, the Utah Jazz made it interesting. But a 10-0 run late in the quarter gave the Cavaliers a vital cushion for their seventh win of the season.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Cavaliers capped a perfect homestand with a 118-114 win against the upstart Utah Jazz on Tuesday night
The Cavs have won seven straight games since losing the opener against Chicago and are off to their best eight-game start since 1988-89.

During the four-game homestand, the Cavs found a number of different ways to win. Some nights it was about their suffocating defense. Other nights it was about late-game execution on offense. They won games against smaller teams, matching the uptempo style. They won games against physical teams, showing they have the size and toughness to play that style as well. Then Tuesday night against the best defense in the NBA, the Cavs scored a season-high 118 points, displaying a different gear. – CLICK HERE to read full story.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The signature moment for LeBron James Tuesday night was probably the biceps slap.
James had just stepped into a passing lane for a steal midway through the fourth quarter and was on his way toward the hoop when Utah’s Rodney Hood wrapped both arms around him in an attempt to stop the play.
