Bench Steps Up, Cavs Hold off Hornets 100-93

On a night when LeBron James did not have his best shooting performance, the supporting cast stepped up to earn a 100-93 win over the Charlotte Hornets.

It was a back and forth contest for three quarters and the Cavs started to pull away early in the fourth, thanks to clutch baskets from Iman Shumpert, Channing Frye and Richard Jefferson, which put Cleveland ahead by nine points with 5:43 remaining.

The Cavs led comfortably from that point going forward to the final buzzer.

LeBron finished with 19 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists, shooting 8-of-21 from the field.
