Talk about it in the C-Town Sports Forum! Another thrilling afternoon of NBA basketball came out of Los Angeles today, as the Cleveland Cavaliers won their fourth straight road game with a 98-95 triumph over the Lakers.
The match-up between LeBron and Kobe was everything you could have hoped for, with the extra touch being James' 41-point effort, with 14 points coming in the final quarter. Bryant finished with 33 points on the day, along with 12 rebounds.
The Cavaliers are clearly now in a groove, as their record goes to 24-19. Dates in Portland and Seattle await them as they continue a west coast swing.
