The Cleveland Cavaliers (28 - 10) embarrassed the Houston Rockets (21 - 20) in a 91 - 77 win on Friday. It's not too often that an offense like the Rockets gets completely shut down, but that happened on Friday. They were held to just 35 percent shooting and shot just 6 - for - 25 from three - point range. Houston was held to just 51 points through three quarters while shooting under 30 percent as well and there was simply no juice in the building for the Rockets to build off of. The 77 points was a season - low for Houston and they were lucky to get to that total with the result out of hand very early. This was just one of those ugly NBA blowouts that's hard to watch and that's a frustrating sign for Houston with the recent success they have had. Cleveland was clearly frustrated by losing on Thursday to the San Antonio Spurs and put it to the Rockets here. What makes this so impressive is that this was the back end of a back - to - back after playing one of the most defensively aggressive teams the night before. All of the “big three” played great for Cleveland here, as LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love all put up great lines. James finished with 19 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Irving finished with 23 points on 9 - for - 17 shooting and Love recorded an 11 point - 13 rebound double - double. The bench really struggled, but when these three are playing like this, it really doesn’t matter. Up next for the Cavaliers is one of the showcase games of the year, as they host the Golden State Warriors on Martin Luther King Day. This was one of Houston's worst offensive games in years and it's no surprise it came against a stout defense like the Cavaliers. The bench was downright bad on Friday, as the six regular bench players combined for 24 points on 5 - for - 26 shooting, which included some garbage time scoring. It wasn’t just the bench though, as no player scored more than 14 points. That player was James Harden, who shot 2 - for - 10 while committing seven turnovers in a nightmare game. The one bright spot would be a double - double from Dwight Howard, who has been playing his best ball of the year over recent weeks. This snapped a five - game wining streak for the Rockets and it doesn’t get much easier on Monday, when they play the scorching hot Los Angeles Clippers.
