Cavs keep rolling

Cleveland Cavalier superstar LeBron James sat in front of his locker for an hour before the game jokingly saying that if Zydrunas Ilgauskas was closing in on Cleveland's career rebounding record, he'd "take one from him".

James also added that if he was closing in on the Cavs career steals record he'd "let one go".

James wanted both Ilgauskas and himself to break their respective records at their home court Tuesday night and another record-tying rout made that possible.

The Cavs have one eight straight games by twelve or more points to tie the NBA record according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Charlotte was never able to threaten the Cavs as they were quickly pounced on in the first couple minutes when they fell behind 15-2 and had missed 14 of their first 16 shots.

"We take pride on trying to build big leads," James said. The Cavs have repeatedly proved that statement true. One of the reasons why they are having so much success this season.

The Cavaliers are currently 17-3 and will play their next game Tuesday night in the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland where they will be taking on the Toronto Raptors.
