Cavs sink Pelicans on James’ triple-double
LEBRON James had a triple-double with 32 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, and Kyrie Irving scored 27 of his 32 in the second half to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers over the New Orleans Pelicans 118-111 on Monday.
Kevin Love added 22 points for the Cavs, who played their second home game this season.
James and Irving dominated in the second half, combining for 46 points — 30 in the third quarter when the Cavs overcame a nine-point deficit. Love, too, was huge after halftime, making four 3-pointers.
Anthony Davis scored 27 with 14 rebounds for the Pelicans.
Chicago’s Derrick Rose had 24 points and seven assists in his return to the lineup as the balanced Bulls beat the Detroit Pistons 102-91.
Rose was 9 for 20 from the field in 32 minutes after being sidelined by sprained ankles. The 2011 NBA MVP had missed four of the previous five games after he was injured in an overtime loss to Cleveland on October 31. Josh Smith had 19 points and 11 rebounds for Detroit.
In Los Angeles, Kawhi Leonard equaled his career high with 26 points despite playing with only one good eye as the San Antonio Spurs closed with a rush to beat the Clippers 89-85.
Leonard’s vision has been affected by a case of conjunctivitis. Still, he pulled down 10 rebounds and gave the defending NBA champions their first lead with 1:44 left.
