Since December 28, the Cavs have the 4th-best road record in the NBA at 12-4 (.750).
With just 20 games separating the Cavaliers and a return to the postseason tournament, a West Coast trip is the perfect way to tune up for the final stretch run. And getting the Big Three rolling in the first win of that roadie last night in Sacramento was an ideal way to start.
Kyrie Irving led everyone with 30 points, LeBron James and Kevin Love each tallied double-doubles and every member of Cleveland’s starting lineup notched double-figures as the Cavaliers scored 66 second-half points to record the season sweep of the Kings with a 120-111 win on Wednesday.
The Wine and Gold will hope to get the same overall production as the play their second games in as many nights against a Lakers squad playing some impressive basketball as of late.
Los Angeles (14-51) owns the worst record in the Western Conference but has shown signs of improvement recently after stunning the Golden State Warriors, 112-95, on Sunday and beating the Orlando Magic, 107-98, on Tuesday.
