Los Angeles (AFP) - Kevin Love tallied 29 points and LeBron James reached 26,000 career points as the Cleveland Cavaliers dumped the Detroit Pistons 114-106 in a NBA Central Division contest.

Love, who was passed over by the Eastern Conference coaches for the upcoming all-star game, enjoyed his second-highest scoring game this season. The power forward scored 34 against Orlando on November 23.

James became the youngest player ever to reach 26,000-point mark when he made two free throws during the third quarter in front of a crowd of 21,000 at The Palace arena.
