Cavs outlast Kobe, and Lakers

Kevin Love blocks Kobe Bryant from behind.

After getting beat by the Clippers in the Staples Center two nights ago, the Cavaliers defeated the Lakers in the same building. It was a statement game for the visiting Cavs. It was a close game throughout. Byron Scott and his Cavs went blow for blow with Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. The "Black Mamba" was red hot after halftime. Bryant scored 27 of his 35 points in the second half. While it was impressive, it was not enough.

Jarrett Jack paced the Cavs offense against the Lakers. It started with his physical play against Steve Nash. Jack completely outplayed the future Hall of Famer. Kevin Love just missed a double-double with 20 points and 9 rebounds. Andre Iguodala chipped in 15 points and 7 rebounds. Dion Waiters and Anthony Morrow combined for 30 points off the bench. Waiters scored 17 in 22 minutes. Morrow was extremely efficient with 13 points in 13 minutes. The Cavaliers improved to 3-2 on the season.

They now scoot over to Phoenix to face the new look Suns (4-1). Suns traded their 2nd overall pick of the 2013 NBA Draft to the Pacers for the uber-athletic Paul George. In free agency, they convinced Dwight Howard to sign a contract for 4 years worth $80M. It's going to be another tough one for Cleveland. The Cavs are being tested early here on this six game road trip.



Jarrett Jack had his best outing this season with 20 points and 6 assists.
