Last night, Miami Heat forward LeBron James went back to Cleveland — the team that drafted him first overall in 2003 — for the second time this season. The first time, he went back he scored 38 points and his team won by 28 points.
The second time he went back, he scored 27 points and his team lost by 12 points. Wait… What!?! The WORST team in the NBA just beat the team with the third-best record in the Eastern Conference? Yes, they did. The Cleveland Cavaliers (15-58) beat the Miami Heat (51-23) by 12 points.
The Cavs leading scorer was J.J. Hickson who had 21 points and was also the leading rebounder for the Cavs with 12. Hickson outscored and outrebounded the Heat's power forward (Chris Bosh) and center (Erick Dampier) combined. Together, Bosh and Dampier combined for 10 points and five rebounds.
LeBron may have had better stats, but Hickson definitely stepped up last night; his season average is 13.1 points and 8.3 rebounds. Dwayne Wade had 24 points and four rebounds, but Anthony Parker had 20 points and seven rebounds. Hey, LeBron I guess you don’t have much of a supporting cast in Miami either … great "Decision."
