Cavaliers snap three-game skid with a win over Magic, 116-104

Lebron James posted his second triple-double in a row in Cleveland's 116-104 win over the Orlando Magic Saturday night. He piled up 24 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists, with 13 points in the fourth quarter and the Cavaliers stopped a three-game losing streak.

Kyrie Irving scored 22 points, seven assists and eight rebounds, Tristan Thompson had a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds for the Eastern Conference-leading Cavaliers, who had dropped four of five. Iman Shumpert scored 15 points, 10 of which came in a row early in the first quarter. J.R. Smith, in his second game from injury, scored 11 points off the bench.

Saturday's win was Cleveland's 16th straight win against the Magic and was the perfect opponent for the Cavaliers to get back on track.

The Cavaliers played without All-Star Kevin Love and Kyle Korver due to injuries. Love is still recovering from knee surgery and Korver missed his second straight game with a sore left foot.

The Orlando Magic had four players in double figures, but lost for the fourth time in five games. The Magic were led by Nikola Vucevic who had a team-high 20 points and 16 rebounds. Aaron Gordon added 16 points and five rebounds while Elfrid Payton finished with eight points, 10 rebounds and six assists.

Lebron James now has a career-high nine triple-doubles this season and 51 in his career.
