New Game New Record


It appears that the Cleveland Cavaliers are setting some kind of record everytime they step on the floor. The Cavs franchise record win streak is now 13 after a 79-73 win over the Detroit Pistons Tuesday night. LeBron James made two crucial three-point plays down the stretch and finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds. With the win, Cleveland improved to 36-1 at home, won the season series from Detroit for the first time in 11 years, and became just the sixth team in NBA history to win 16 games in one month. The Cavaliers finish off the month of March with a record of 16-1. The last team to win 16 games in a month was San Antonio (16-0) in 1996. "That is amazing," said James, who was reminded the Cavs won just 17 in the season before his arrival. "Ever since the All-Star Game we've been really, really focused. That's an unbelievable month for any team." The Cavs are 22-2 after the All Star break. Cavs C Zydrunas Ilgauskas played in his 700th career game. Only Danny Ferry (723) and Bingo Smith (720) have played in more games for Cleveland.
