Cavaliers win easy over the 76ers, 122-105

Lebron James scored 34 points, Kyrie Irving added 24 and the Cleveland Cavaliers ended a miserable March with a 122-105 win over the injury riddled Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.

It was good to see J.R. Smith coming out of his funk. He scored 14 points and was 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. He was very aggressive defensively which gave Smith a boost of confidence and looked like the J.R. from the end of last season. Kevin Love added 18 points and 10 rebounds as the Cavs ended their three-game losing streak and won for the just the third time in eight games to end the month of March 7-10.

The Cavaliers had 17 games in March with 12 of them being on the road crossing the country.

Cavs were in total contol throughout. It was 104-77 going into the fourth and then the Cavs decided to rest their starters, Cavs had just 6 turnovers to 16 for the 76ers.

Cavaliers remain a 1/2-game behind Boston for first place in the East after the Celtics squeezed by the Orlando Magic Friday.

COMING UP FOR THE CAVS: The Cleveland Cavaliers (48-27) continue their three-game homestand Sunday against the Indiana Pacers (37-39) at 6pm.
