Kyrie Irving has 'his moment' and Cleveland Cavaliers showing defense-first mentality: Fedor's five observations

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- When the Cleveland Cavaliers regathered inside Cleveland Clinic Courts following a few days off to celebrate the New Year, the message was pointed and simple, at least according to veteran leader James Jones.

"We're here to make a title run, so we have to start the year off right," he said during a on-court interview following the 104-79 win.

After their recent road trip, it's clear the Cavs wanted to set the tone for 2016 and re-establish their supremacy, especially at home.

"I know that if J.J. mentions it, I'm usually on his side with things because he's smart," Kevin Love said after the game.
