LeBron's message turned Love's day around

After a listless first half for Kevin Love, LeBron James had some words for his teammate that pushed the power forward to finish with his best single-game numbers of the young Cavaliers' season.

CLEVELAND— In each of the last two games for the Cavaliers, a halftime message proved pivotal in pushing Cleveland towards a victory.

On Friday night, it was the strong sentiments of veteran James Jones that forced LeBron James to respond with 18 third-quarter points, en route to a 31-point, 13-rebound game in which the Cavaliers emerged with a 108-102 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
