ORLANDO – While the Cleveland Cavaliers are a work in progress heading toward the end of the season, LeBron James is rolling along just fine.
James had 24 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds, and the Cavaliers stopped a three-game losing streak with a 116-104 victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday night.
Kyrie Irving scored 22 points for Cleveland, which placed seven players in double figures. Tristan Thompson had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Iman Shumpert added 15 points.
”We’ve got some great possibilities and it’s a process,” said James, who posted his career-best ninth triple-double of the season. ”We can never get too high or too low. We are getting guys acclimated and getting guys back into the system. It’s a process for us and we understand that.”
The Cavaliers played without All-Star Kevin Love and Kyle Korver due to injuries. Love is recovering from knee surgery, and Korver missed his second straight game with a sore left foot.
James found his rhythm in the second quarter, collecting six points and six assists while helping Cleveland to a 59-51 lead at the break. The Cavs shot nearly 53 percent from the field while Orlando converted just 38.5 percent from the field during the opening half. (AP)
