LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers play well at home. Last night they did so again with James exploding for 44 points as the Cavaliers defeated the defending champs, the San Antonio 101-87. It ended a nine game winning streak for San Antonio.

Cleveland is 14-2 at home against the better teams (teams with over .5 records) and 5-5 against poorer teams (teams with under .5 records). A prime example was that this win over the Spurs came a after a home loss to the Golden State Warriors.

This was James' sixth game over 40 points this season. James scored 18 in the third quarter, tying his career high for points in a period. The win ends a two game slide for Cleveland.
