The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Charlotte Hornets, 100 - 93, at Quicken Loans Arena on Sunday. More often than not, the trio of LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving are essentially enough to overcome most opponents. It was a different story Sunday, however, as veteran Channing Frye actually led the way with a season - high 20 - point effort in 25 minutes off the bench. The aforementioned starters were n't necessarily underwhelming, as they combined for 55 points, including four total three - pointers from Love and James. Defense was also undeniably a factor, as Cleveland (8 - 1) held the Hornets (6 - 3) to 38 percent success rates from both the field and three - point range. The Hornets were led by Kemba Walker, who tallied 21 points, four assists, two rebounds and a steal. Marvin Williams posted 16 points, six rebounds and two assists. Nicolas Batum managed a near double - double with 15 points, nine boards, seven assists, two steals and a block. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist did get there, supplying 11 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and a steal. Frye added three rebounds and three blocks to his team - high scoring total. A pair of 19 - point efforts from James and Irving paced the starting five, with the former also filling out the stat sheet with eight rebounds, eight assists, a steal and a block and the latter dishing out four assists, posting three rebounds and recording a steal. Love was strong as well, pouring in 17 points and bringing in 11 rebounds, four assists and a steal. Tristan Thompson mustered a modest four points, but did bring in 12 rebounds. The Hornets move on to Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves on Tuesday night, while the Cavaliers remain home to take on the Raptors on Tuesday evening as well.
