LeBron James leads Cavaliers to convincing win over Spurs
- 8 years ago
Blasting toward the basket, LeBron James didn't break his stride as he flicked away Patty Mills and sent the San Antonio guard sprawling across the floor.
James scored a layup and flexed.
He and the Cavaliers finally bullied one of the NBA's big boys.
James scored 29 points and overcame an early wardrobe malfunction, and Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving added 21 apiece as Cleveland got its first win this season over an elite team by beating the San Antonio Spurs 117-103 on Saturday.
The Cavs won their fourth straight under new coach Tyronn Lue, who was promoted after David Blatt was fired Jan. 22.
Cleveland came in 0-5 against San Antonio, Golden State and Chicago, three top-tier teams who figure to contend for a title this season.
"The Big 3 came through for us," Lue said.
"It gives us confidence to know that we can beat a great team like the Spurs."
