James scores 29, Cavaliers rout Magic 104-79

CLEVELAND -- LeBron James scored 29 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Orlando Magic for a 13th straight game, 104-79 on Saturday night.

The Cavaliers' lead reached 31 points in the third quarter of their third win over the Magic this season -- and it wasn't even the most lopsided matchup. On Dec. 11, Cleveland led by as many as 40 in a 111-76 rout.

The Cavaliers never trailed and went ahead for good after the teams exchanged baskets to begin the game. Orlando coach Scott Skiles, who called Friday's loss at Washington embarrassing, needed a timeout less than five minutes into Saturday's game.
