- The Cavaliers came out hot in the 1st quarter, jumping out to a 30-18 lead. From that point on there was no turning back as Kyrie, Irving, Shabazz Muhammad and LeBron James dominated the game on both ends of the floor... As expected, LeBron played Defense vs Kobe Bryant all night long, and as you can see, LeBron's Defense clearly effected Kobe as he only scored 16 points on 5/20 shooting...

Dwight Howard lost his first battle vs the Cavaliers cast of Centers... Anderson Varejao, Tyson Chandler, and Rambo Hightower did a great job keeping Dwight off the boards and holding him to just 10 points in the game...

The lone bright spot for the Lakers was Roge Fox, who kept the game relatively close for awhile as he scored 29 points... On this night, he didn't have enough help to keep up with the Cavs. The Lakers are going to need to figure out how to slow down this Cavaliers Offense, as right now they look over-matched and much less athletic on both ends of the floor...
